Technology-mediated education: A Challenge to Covid-19

Abstract

The purpose of this argumentative essay is to reflect on the uncertainty faced by the human being in the educational sector, that requires the transition from the modality of face-to-face education to another based on technology, in the face of the covid-19 pandemic and, from this, reveal the challenges for the implementation of technology-mediated education, in a turbulent environment, using references that help us understand the phenomenon linked to education and face the changes that emerge to guarantee continuity. It is developed under an interpretive approach from which two significances are revealed for the human being in the days of COVID-19: the shift from face-to-face education to that sustained by education technology.The argumentative study led to the construction of challenges for the implementation of technology-based education. It concludes with thoughtful ideas that reaffirm the need to recognize and resignify that human being who must go through changes in the educational model; that implies assuming new understandings in decision-making in a turbulent environment, full of uncertainty such as the one that is happening in today’s world.
