ICT teaching-learning: New challenge of cultural capital acquisition in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to show how the teaching-learning process has worked after the COVID-19 pandemic and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a new challenge of cultural capital, the latter being a fundamental concept of Pierre Bourdieu's theory. The research took place at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Autonomous University of Chiapas, where we worked with five seventh semester students of the Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and their experience with ICTs in the transition from face-to-face to virtual classes and the challenges that come with living in a space that has serious socioeconomic and technological inequality gaps since, among the results and conclusions, Among the results and conclusions, it can be mentioned that the limited access that both teachers and students had -derived from regional inequality- prevented the teaching-learning process from being carried out efficiently, however, the strategies used by the university community helped to solve this process because the motivation to continue studying was fundamental to achieve the purpose of the students, who, despite the fact that they were not able to use ICTs, did not have access to the Internet and did not have access to the Internet.
