Abstract

In the context of the educational paradigm shift caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the main difficulties faced by teachers was the implementation of virtual resources in face-to-face. The objective of the research was to identify the specific difficulties from the perspective and experience of teachers to promote the planning, implementation and evaluation of teaching. The applied methodology is based on the descriptive qualitative approach, the phenomenological hermeneutic methods were used and the semi-structured interview technique was applied, whose instrument had its content validation by expert judgment on the relevance, clarity and importance of the subject matter. The sample for this study was non-probabilistic for convenience in which eight teachers of General Basic Middle Education belonging to two educational institutions were selected. The analyzed results were classified into three categories: Difficulties in planning and using virtual resources, implementation challenges, technical limitations, and progress in interaction and academic performance. It is concluded that the implementation of virtual resources in face-to-face teaching arises as a result of the virtual education modality during the pandemic, transforming the traditional approach and allowing a more flexible education in line with social changes.
