Technological Context of Secondary Education Teachers in Peru Before E-teaching Due to COVID-19. Prepandemic Diagnosis

Abstract

This study with a quantitative, descriptive and trend approach aims to determine situation of technological resources that secondary education teachers had in Peru just before the transition to e-teaching due to COVID-19. For this, three Surveys to Peruvian Teacher (ENDO) carried out by Ministerio de Educación del Perú before the pandemic, in 2014, 2016 and 2018 were analyzed. The total of secondary education teachers who participated in each year, respectively, were 3710 (78.5% = urban, 21.5% = rural); 3986 (81.9% = urban, 18.1% = rural) and 6118 (85.3% = urban, 14.7% = rural). After analyzing three variables that make up technological context dimension (electricity access, technological devices access and Internet access), it can be concluded that trends do not reveal a clear improvement between 2014 and 2018, and the main difficulty was the Internet access, especially in the regions of Amazonas and Pasco.
