Higher education: traditional online practices and the absence of reflective discourse

Abstract

The present essay is aimed at reflecting on the role of the teacher facing the health contingency derived from the SARS-Co-2 coronavirus. Education during the pandemic and virtual / online educational measures are discussed, as well as the position of the student in the context of the sudden shift to online educational provision. The need for a critical discourse on the role of the school as a place for reflection of social problems is underlined. Such problems include the cases of violence against women in recent months.
