Abstract

In this research we set out the resilient strategies adopted by early childhood education teachers at a State education facility in the city of La Paz, Bolivia in handling new technologies and report on the limited access children and their families have to technologies for virtual education. Thanks to insight into the experiences of teachers through in-depth interviews and online questionnaires about the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been found that adaptation to requirements in different areas – taking into account the vulnerability brought about by the pandemic and the new challenges this entails; namely, recording of classes, use of virtual platforms, adaptation of teaching materials and the new medium of connection between teachers, students and parents – led to outcomes that made efficiency possible whereby new bonds were strengthened which foster the education of students, enabling them to adapt optimally, and allowing all of them to develop resilient strategies.

Keywords: Resilience, teachers, early childhood education, virtual education, COVID-19, adaptation, Bolivia.
