Technological Context of Kindergarten 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 the situation of technological resources that kindergarten teachers had in Peru, just before the transition to e-teaching due to covid-19. To do this, three Surveys to Peruvian Teachers (ENDO) carried out by Ministerio de Educacion del Peru before the pandemic, in 2014, 2016 and 2018 were analyzed. The total of kindergarten teachers who participated in each year, respectively, were: 1593 (74.2 % = urban, 25.8 % = rural), 1759 (76.8 % = urban, 23.2 % = rural) and 2935 (82.2 % = urban, 17.8 % = rural). After analyzing the three variables that make up the technological context dimension (electricity access, technological devices access and internet access) it can be concluded that the trends, in general, were positive, but insufficient, especially in terms of internet access, and especially in the rural areas of the Peruvian jungle.
