> Different modalities of teaching in this time of pandemic.

The effects of the pandemic have affected and continue to affect education methods every day. The
education methods are not immune to the pandemic periods we are facing, so teachers must know how
to adapt their methods in such a way that teaching, and its quality, is not negatively affected. This study
provides an overview of different types of teaching methodology before, during, and after the
coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

This study describes the different types of teaching (presence learning, blended learning, and
distance education) used in school (one private and one public) during the pandemic. A new teaching
methodology is proposed. The purpose of this study report is to share what we learned about the
response to COVID-19.

Results provide a basis for reflection about the pros and cons of teaching and learning modalities in
higher education. The current situation demands that we continue to rethink what is the best
methodology for teaching so that the education of students is not affected in any way. This study is
useful for learning about different teaching methods that exist and which ones may suit us best
depending on the context, situation, and needs of our students.

Year ago 2020, due to the declaration by the National Government, the educational centers could not be
opened, and they had to optimally adapt to this fact. Each educational center had to base its teaching on
the online mode and to adapt teachers and students to this new reality: videoconferencing software was
used to avoid social disconnection, students were disoriented, ignorance of new tools had to be
overcome to teach classes, and the evaluation systems need to be redesigned. The pandemic revealed
the shortcomings of educational institutions, mainly about the infrastructures and the training of
teachers in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools. However, it also meant
improvements. The teachers were trained in new online methodologies and showed interest in learning
new teaching tools in the face of the new reality and challenges that arose.

> Insights about the quality of education in this type of pandemic.


Education is no exception students from privileged backgrounds, supporter by their parents and
eager and able to learn could find their way past closed school doors to alternative learning
opportunities.

This crisis has exposed the many inadequacies and inequalities in our educational systems, from access
to the broadband and computers needed for online education and supportive environment needed to
focus on learning up to the misalignment between resources and needs.

Teachers also had to adapt to new pedagogical concept and modes of delivery of teaching, for teach
they may not have been trained. In particular learners most marginalized groups who don't have access
to digital learning resources or lack of resilience and engagement to learned on their own are at risk and
falling behind.

If schools are slow to return to prior levels of performance, the growth losses will be proportionately
higher. Of course, slow growth from the loss of skills in today's students will only be seen in the long
term. However when considered over this term, the impact become significant. In other words
countries will continue to face reduced economic well-being even if their schools immediately return to
pre-pandemic levels of performance.
