Comparative Analysis between the Conditions Associated to Traditional teaching and those Associated to Online teaching

Abstract

Throughout history, society has faced different kinds of problems in all ways; from wars, poverty, climate change, natural phenomena up to mortal diseases. These afflictions have managed to get in people’s lives in a devastating way causing a great number of deaths due to pandemics such as the COVID-19, which has been, until the present days, an overwhelming enemy for almost all the countries in the world. This pandemic has forced society to adapt to a different lifestyle in order to face the virus and be alert and protected in any environment. In the education system, teachers were forced to move from traditional education to online education which involves the use of technologies at all times. This action has contributed to teachers and students’ physical and mental burnout causing mental or physical problems. This article will present a comparative analysis of the physical and psychosocial conditions that appeared during the traditional teaching and the online teaching in a group of teachers at the Universidad tecnológica de Torreón, as well as the repercussions in their lives and possible solution alternatives for their conditions.
