School Productivity During the Confinement by COVID-19 at the Technological Institute of Zacatecas

Abstract

Being in confinement drastically changed working conditions in the face of a constant threat to health. The precariousness with which work was done during the health emergency caused by Covid-19 affected school performance. The hypothesis is that these conditions affected the productivity of teachers and students at the Technological Institute of Zacatecas. The objective was to measure the impact on productivity. The methodology used was initially exploratory and descriptive, presenting the working conditions influenced by impact factors to give continuity to the teaching-learning process. A correlation is made between the variables that impact productivity and the institutional indicators of the Quality Management System. In addition to the above, surveys were applied to students and teachers to find out the conditions in which they carried out their activities and their performance in the cycles corresponding to the first and second semester of 2020 and the first of 2021, the period in which the transition occurs. Finally, it is explained how the variables generate a decrease in school productivity. The results show how the impact factors influenced educational performance. The investigation had as limitations the insufficiency of official information due to the suspension of some activities and in surveys the lack of participation of all the witnesses. The findings made it possible to confirm the hypothesis and measure the degree of affectation, which evidenced the lag in the professional training of the students who witnessed the situation.
