Abstract

The experience that arose in higher education from the sanitary restrictions applied by covid-19, allowed us to observe the effects of the forced incorporation of digital tools in the teaching-learning process, which revealed the skills required to deal with them. This article gives an account of a multiple case study carried out with fourth-year students of the Early Childhood Education career belonging to two Chilean universities, whose purpose was oriented to inquire about the competences that are put into practice during the guided thesis work. virtually during the course of the pandemic. The information collection procedures used were self-assessment questions, semi-structured interviews and focus groups applied to the study participants. The results show the relevance that the students give in a remote work context to time management, flexibility and empathy within the work group and the strategies used to deal with problems. These results allow us to discuss the role played by generic competencies in the training of future educators, in order to advance in strengthening them during undergraduate training.
