The Covid-19 pandemic in the early months of 2020 has generated a new scenario of global uncertainty. One of the first measures dicted was social confinement and the suspension of all mass gatherings, including face-to-face activity in educational centres and their migration to online education. In this context, the governing bodies of the Catholic University of Cuenca also established, in a complementary manner, a series of guidelines for the implementation of a modular system. So that this work, framed in a descriptive quantitative methodology through the development and application of a questionnaire, articulated in quatre modules (general characterization of the population under study ; family characterization of students ; assessment on their current online educational-training context ; and appreciation of the general experience lived during their process of confinement) tries to approach the perception that students of the Faculty of Education, Arts and Humanities at the headquarters of the Catholic University in Cuenca and its sites in Azogues, Canar and Macas, in relation to both online education and the modular system implemented in that higher education centre. Among the results obtained, the following stand out, among others : the existence of a gap in access, use and competence with respect to technological devices, the perception that Online Education and its evaluation system is more demanding than the face-to-face system, the conviction of a radical change in teaching methods, for which they were not prepared both in the use of platforms and in knowledge of digital pedagogy, a positive evaluation in the face of the implementation of the modular system, despit the fact that it entails greater dedication to study and work, although a preferential positioning between the modular system and the semester system has not yet been defined.

ولدت جائحة كوفيد-19 في الأشهر الأولى من عام 2020 سيناريو جديدًا من عدم اليقين العالمي. كان أحد التدابير الأولى التي تم فرضها هو الحبس الاجتماعي وتعليق جميع التجمعات الجماهيرية، بما في ذلك النشاط وجهاً لوجه في المراكز التعليمية وهجرتها إلى التعليم عبر الإنترنت. وفي هذا السياق، وضعت الهيئات الإدارية لجامعة كوينكا الكاثوليكية أيضًا، بطريقة متكاملة، سلسلة من المبادئ التوجيهية لتنفيذ نظام معياري. بحيث أن هذا العمل، الذي تم تأطيره بمنهجية كمية وصفية من خلال تطوير وتطبيق استبيان، تم توضيحه في أربع وحدات (التوصيف العام للسكان قيد الدراسة ؛ التوصيف الأسري للطلاب ؛ تقييم سياق التدريب التعليمي الحالي عبر الإنترنت ؛ وتقدير التجربة العامة التي عاشوها أثناء عملية الحبس) يحاول الاقتراب من التصور بأن طلاب كلية التربية والفنون والعلوم الإنسانية في مقر الجامعة الكاثوليكية في كوينكا ومواقعها في أزوغ وكنار وماكاس، فيما يتعلق بكل من التعليم عبر الإنترنت والنظام المعياري المنفذ في هذا التعليم العالي. من بين النتائج التي تم الحصول عليها، يبرز ما يلي، من بين أمور أخرى: وجود فجوة في الوصول والاستخدام والكفاءة فيما يتعلق بالأجهزة التكنولوجية، والتصور بأن التعليم عبر الإنترنت ونظام تقييمه أكثر تطلبًا من النظام وجهاً لوجه، والاقتناع بتغيير جذري في أساليب التدريس، والتي لم يتم إعدادها سواء في استخدام المنصات أو في معرفة طرق التدريس الرقمية، تقييم إيجابي في مواجهة تنفيذ النظام المعياري، على الرغم من حقيقة أنه ينطوي على مزيد من التفاني في الدراسة والعمل، على الرغم من عدم تحديد موقع تفضيلي بين النظام المعياري ونظام الفصل الدراسي حتى الآن.
