Evaluación de los aprendizajes del nivel de Educación Inicial (3 a 5 años) durante la emergencia sanitaria: percepción de los docentes

Abstract

Abstract: In the face of the covid-19 pandemic, the need for social isolation arose worldwide and the closure of educational institutions. Consequently, education had to be adapted to virtuality, and changes in methods, educational tools, and evaluation forms in early education arose. The general objective of this field research was to explain the perception of early childhood education teachers (3 to 5 years old) on the evaluation of learning during the health emergency. A qualitative approach methodology was applied to five teachers in the province of Pichincha. This is based on a questionnaire instrument consisting of informative data, Likert scaling, and simple selection questions. It was concluded that evaluation is a continuous, qualitative, flexible, and integral process to improve children's development and reinforce their skills and abilities that affect learning and development. The initial, process, and final evaluations help to know the evolution in the motor, cognitive, language, and socio-affective areas.
