The Student-Teacher Relationship in Times of Quarantine: Challenges and Opportunities for Learning in Virtual Environments
description: As a result of the health crisis inaugurated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent suspension of face-to-face classes throughout Chile, principals, teachers and students were faced with continuing the teaching and learning processes through various virtual platforms, not always obtaining the best results given the multiplicity of factors that hinder both access and communication between these agents. This article aims to offer an example of an activity carried out with students in the 4th year of high school on a Citizenship Education course, whose design, construction, monitoring and evaluation was carried out entirely online. Along with this, it also seeks to enable reflection on the importance of a significant relationship between teacher and students in virtual learning environments, based on the assumption that if the teacher carries out the same projects with his students, their motivation increases, been this a fundamental issue in a context of forced confinement and little interpersonal contact.
