LOS EFECTOS DEL COVID 19 EN TIEMPOS DE TRANSICIÓN

Abstract

In this article, we will analyze the tensions and effects produced by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic on the practices of the “Educational Planning” course within undergraduate education, particularly focusing on the challenges posed by the contingency for the experience of curricularizing university extension, which underpins the pedagogical proposal of the subject.

First, after a brief introduction, we will analyze the tensions in higher education that arose during the pandemic and the challenges for the very conception of educational planning and the curricularization of the extensionist function.

Second, we will present the foundations and concepts that support the curricularization of extension in the "Educational Planning" course at the School of Education Sciences at the National University of Córdoba (UNC). This proposal seeks to transcend a partial and limited conception of university extension as a specific function of the university and instead view it as a socio-political process.

Third, we will present the key redefinitions that were critical in sustaining the teaching proposal during the pandemic context and were guided by the extensionist nature of the exercise proposed to students.

Fourth, we will analyze the evolution of the proposal to integrate the extension function into the course curriculum. The analysis will be based on quantitative data regarding the enrollment trends from 2014 (the year the extension perspective was incorporated into the course curriculum) to 2021.

Finally, we will present our conclusions regarding the issues discussed, highlighting the aspects (or lessons) that we believe will guide us in the post-pandemic stages.
