SUMMA/Landing survey

In collaboration with the Ministries of Education:

The objective of the teacher survey “Educational practices in the context of COVID-19” is to explore the pedagogical practices developed by teachers of primary and secondary schools in Latin America and the Caribbean in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why do we carry out this survey?

  • In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the educational systems of Latin America and the Caribbean have been significantly affected by the closure of schools and the massive shift from face-to-face education to distance education.
  • Although the educational systems have implemented emergency teaching initiatives, the prolonged closure of schools will have repercussions on learning.
  • It is essential to develop comparative data on how schools and teachers are facing this crisis and to share this knowledge internationally.
  • We want to hear the voices of teachers, know the immense range of strategies they have implemented, their responses to maintain a connection with students and principals, and the efforts made to carry out their tasks remotely and adjust teaching to this new context.

The survey addresses a series of basic questions about socio-demographic characteristics (age, sex, etc.) and the establishment in which you work, to then focus on how teaching has been during the COVID-19 pandemic. You will be consulted about your experience during 2020 and what type of teaching modality you are currently implementing (online, face-to-face or hybrid), as well as the main difficulties, challenges and needs you have. Likewise, you will be consulted about your social-emotional well-being and what you suggest to improve your situation.

Since the educational authorities of the various participating countries collaborate in the project, the results are expected to have a direct impact on the measures they will consider / take in the future.
