Description
Summary:This qualitative interpretative research and case study contrasts the idea of school before and during COVID-19. The strict measures of confinement covered students, teachers and their families. This research was carried using the discourse analysis with 19 interviews conducted online in a public school in Bogotá - Colombia, through three categories: communication, educational practice and rituals, for the purpose to identify, the idea of school as a social space for training through the tension generated between traditional educational practice and techno-educational innovations as a result of the COVID-19 contingency in teachers, students and parents in a school in Bogotá. We found a relationship between the traditional school and three myths of the West: the myth of Sisyphus, the myth of the Eternal Return and the myth of the Eternal Paradise, this show to be determinant in the course of the school and obstruct the innovative pedagogical processes mediated or not by ICT, reinforcing the encyclopedic and linear character of the curriculum, the content of the subjects, the ways of teaching and learning, founded on crucial factors of the educational act: promotion and qualification, as synonymous of evaluation.
