RT Journal Article T1 Working Methodology with Public Universities in Peru during the Pandemic—Continuity of Virtual/Online Teaching and Learning A1 Martín Cuadrado, Ana María A1 Lavandera Ponce, Silvia A1 Mora Jaureguialde, Begoña A1 Sánchez Romero, Cristina A1 Pérez Sánchez, Lourdes AB This article describes the consultancy provided by the UTEC-UNED-TECSUP UniversityConsortium to six national universities in Peru, during the COVID-19 state of emergency. This actionaims to promote the techno-pedagogical change from a face-to-face to a virtual/online educationalcontext. The process consists of three stages that ensured the continuity of the virtual/online educational service: diagnosis, design, and training, to strengthen instructional and digital competencies,support, and techno-pedagogical monitoring. It includes the basic principles of constructivist and constructionist learning theories for active and quality teaching and learning for the agents involved, and,in addition, the guidelines set by the emerging Peruvian regulations during the pandemic to movetowards a digital university model according to the times. After a 157-day intervention, the analysisof the results raises some reflections: the importance of the socio-cultural context and its influence onthe concept and development of the instructional act; the concept of distance learning in territorieswhere connectivity is the main difficulty, and the university institution, in terms of a non-presentialeducational model with open and versatile methodologies, which anticipates a long process, involvesa scheduled follow-up, requires fluid communication and demands continuous feedback PB MDPI SN 2227-7102 (electrónico) YR 2021 FD 2021 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/20047 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/20047 LA eng NO Martín-Cuadrado, A.
