• Abstract:

  The main objective is to present some reflections of the process that the community of the Divisional Trunk of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Autonomous Metropolitan University Xochimilco unit has experienced, in the face of the health emergency, mainly in the students of the 2nd quarter of “History and Society”. in the Statistics Course. Now in its Mixed Modality according to the Teaching Transition Program in the Mixed Modality (PROTEMM).

  Faced with the health emergency, which today has been two years and a few months, we have learned to use new technologies that before, both teachers and students did not use. In the new generations of students new to the University, the majority had to take virtual classes in their upper secondary education. When they entered the University they also had to take virtual classes, without knowing the University facilities, now with the modality mixed they go to the University some days. In this quarter that just ended in May 2022, before starting it was necessary to plan mixed classes, where the University took a series of measures such as the capacity in the classrooms, the care protocols in the University community, making the Transition Program of Teaching in the Mixed Modality (PROTEMM) and disseminating it in their community.

  The first thing we reviewed was: what tools we could continue using to plan a blended course. Coordinate the in-person days and the virtual days according to the capacity of the classrooms and assigned schedules, the technology to be used, how we would carry out the mathematics program, Statistics, how the changes were going to be made, now the students would know the facilities of the University, for which, intuition made small groups to tour it.

  A survey was carried out among the students of the Divisional Core of Social Sciences and Humanities of the 2nd quarter of “History and Society” in the Statistics Course, through a survey at the end of the course. This way we know their opinion upon returning to face-to-face classes, only from some students, since not all of them answered the survey and it was only to the groups that were assigned to me, however it gives us an idea of what they think.

  The statistical yearbook published by the University in 2019, 2020 and 2021 was also reviewed to see if there were changes in the students who enter, their ages and which schools they come from in their upper secondary education.

  In this work we reflect on mixed classes, in a return to academic activities in Mathematics Teaching, specifically in Statistics, both in-person and virtual with the aim of moving towards in-person classes, returning to 100% activities at the University in a near future to the next quarter.

  For some students, the virtual class is an advantage, they mention that it is easy to follow and review several times, others save on transportation and time getting to the university, for others it is a distraction and they lose attention, since they do not find themselves in a private place when taking their class. 61% answered that they prefer 50% virtual and 50% in-person, 100% virtual for 7% and 100% in-person for 29%. The response varies according to the interests of each person, since some work and study.
