Perceptions from the role of instructor, teacher and academic peer regarding student behavior in the evaluation process in times of pandemic

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study on the categorization of student behavior in the face of the evaluation process in times of pandemic, from the perception of the roles of instructors, university teachers and academic peers. For this, theoretical references were approached that would allow an approximation to the reality experienced by the students as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology used was qualitative, descriptive, using in-depth interviews and surveys as information gathering instruments. Among the most significant results are, on the one hand, the little confidence that the evaluators have in the behaviors of their students during the evaluation, and, on the other hand, the relevance in the verification assisted by means of ICT by academic peers in certification and accreditation processes for programs. The findings indicate that in a context of uncertainty the evaluation is complex and, therefore, that planning, technical skills and disciplinary knowledge are required to make it more dynamic.
