The Role of the Family in Virtual Learning Processes Javier Alejandro Merchan Velasco

The year 2020 was recorded as a "year to forget", since the appearance of the virus called COVID-19 caused a series of difficulties, problems and adverse circumstances in many social sectors, who began to reorganize, planning resources, projects and solutions to this "new reality". Education was no exception, since in order to avoid massive agglomerations and contagions, a program whose main characteristic was the distance, called virtual modality, was detailed. The teachers connected with the students through the use of the internet and technological tools, but it was the parents who were in charge of the reinforcement, revision, orientation and development of the teaching-learning process of the students. This book will deepen, through a qualitative research of a case study (mother of a family), the role of the family within virtual education, the perceptions of the educational subjects about the family function, the processes of mediation of the most significant learning and the implications of family support,
