The day after: Impact of COVID-19 on teachers and their educational labor in Paraguay

In Paraguay, compliance with distancing measures has led to immediate digitization at all educational levels, such an impact demands for its actors, on the one hand, knowledge about information and communication technologies (ICT5), and on the other, coping resources to cope with the impact. The objective of the study was to identify and describe risk, protective, self efficacy and coping behaviors in teachers through a survey of their own preparation. The research used a non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional design and the results were analyzed with the SPSS v1.2.0 statistical package. From the results, it stands out that 51% reported connectivity problems in classes, 82% that the pandemic has affected them economically, however, 61.7% almost always manage to remain mentally stable despite difficulties due to structural changes. In conclusion, the presence of protective behaviors in the sample was identified, in more than 50%, in all the evaluated indicators; likewise self-efficacy and functional coping behaviors.
