• In Event: Postsecondary Science Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America, all educational institutions closed their doors. This resulted in an abrupt disruption of face-to-face classes at all levels of the educational system. In order to ensure educational continuity, the Ministries of Education of the various Latin American countries implemented different strategies including educational Television. In this work, we intend to assess the coherence of the most representative educational television resources in Latin America. The methodology selected for the analysis is that of the rhetoric coherence. After the analysis, we found a dogmatic model of science, a distant receptor model, a transmissive didactic model, and a factuality full of academic symbolisms.
