Análisis comparativo de los factores socioeconómicos que intervienen en el desempeño académico durante la pandemia COVID- 19 en dos instituciones educativas de la ciudad de Cayambe

Abstract

This research paper addresses the impact of the pandemic on the educational process of learners. It aims to understand the inequalities of learners' environments in order to fulfil their educational process, through the study of data on internet connection, device provision, academic performance, etc. The research emphasises the description of the socio-economic factors that influenced the pedagogical transformations, educational scenarios, and lifestyles under the analysis of data analysed after the application of surveys. Different points of view of authors who analyse the factors that affect academic performance were adopted. Based on the analysis of the reality at the socio-economic level of the family environments of the educational institutions, we work under a case study aimed at analysing a social problem which has repercussions in the educational sphere, following a statistical method that interprets the information of the reality in the context of the pandemic and the causes that generate social inequality. The paper is divided into three parts: the first part contextualises the socio-economic factors; the second part explains the incidence of these factors on educational performance; and the third part reflects on education in pandemics, educational policies and the implementation of the COVID plan.
