Violencia familiar en tiempos de pandemia y su impacto en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en estudiantes de educación inicial y primero de básica en una unidad educativa de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The main objective of the case analysis was to examine family violence during the pandemic and its impact on the teaching and learning process of early childhood education and first grade students. The interest in investigating this topic arose due to the issues observed during the COVID-19 lockdown. Various realities that individuals experienced within their family contexts, which revealed cases of violence, were exposed during that time. Upon returning to in-person classes, it became apparent that acts of violence were disclosed by students and teachers who shared anecdotes about the situations they faced at home. The methodology used employed a qualitative approach with contributions from ethnographic methods. The obtained results included the identification of prevalent forms of family violence in students' households, an explanation of the effects of violence on young children's learning, as well as their social and emotional well-being within their context, and a description of how teachers respond to situations of family violence that students experience in their environment.
