PEQUENO, Ivana et al. Virtual teaching and learning in the context of a pandemic. InterCambios [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.2, pp.150-170.  Epub 01-Dez-2020. ISSN 2301-0118.  https://doi.org/10.2916/inter.7.2.14.

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 impacted on the way in which all activities of our daily lives were carried out. In Uruguay, since March 13th, when the first cases were confirmed, a state of health emergency was declared, with the educational system being one of the most radically affected aspects. The Faculty of Psychology at Universidad de la República, as an educational community, was able to cope with adversity and achieve, in a very short period of time, a real response in order to maintain the delivery of the courses in a virtual way. Once the first semester is over, it is vital to know how the new reality was lived and experienced by students and teachers. This study analyzes the experiences of teachers and students at the Faculty of Psychology. The data was obtained through online forms designed by ProREn (Teaching Renewal Program) and applied from July 8th to 22nd, 2020. The sample of participants was of 693 students and 55 teachers. Descriptive analyses of common dimensions to both questionnaires were carried out. The general results show that the abrupt passage to virtual teaching was properly achieved with good outcomes. However, some dimensions of the experiences of students and teachers during this transition warn us about the most vulnerable aspects of each population.
