Abstract

JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM: The presence of the COVID-19
contingency, transmuted the teaching-learning styles, forcing the actors to venture without
prior training, into a disconcerting modality and solve problems on the fly, unquestionably
having repercussions on the educational standards. The how is the central theme of this
research. GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To infer the effects of virtual education in the teachinglearning process, in higher level students, in the region of Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua.
METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: 428 surveys (designed for this research) were applied
online in various higher education institutions in the northwestern region of the state of
Chihuahua. The approach is mixed: qualitative and quantitative. RESULTS AND
CONCLUSIONS: The students qualify the virtual modality as regular, as they are prevented
from interacting with their classmates and when starting this process, 36% assumed it as a
challenge. 61% rate themselves with a "regular" two years away in school performance. 45%
accept that their learning styles have changed, managing self-learning. Connectivity issues
were rated on a regular basis. The most used platform was meet and zoom. The didactic and
evaluation strategies (mostly unintelligible exams) are considered "regular". The lack of
motivation and understanding of some teachers, connectivity problems and apathy were the
priority issues that they had to solve. The dropout rate increased.
