Item type:Publication, The institutional marks in the functioning of support networks: The case of Peruvian teachers in times of pandemic(Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona, Departamento de Antropologia Social y Cultural, 2024-01-01)Teachers are a key building-block of the educational process. In a limit situation that disrupted everyday life, such as that of the COVID-19 pandemic, how were teachers’ personal support networks put into motion to respond to their emerging work-related (teaching) and personal needs? What was the role of the institutional and organizational contexts in this process? This study seeks to answer these questions based on empirical data from Peruvian secondary education teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodological design was mixed in nature (sociometric and qualitative). Several social support mobilization processes were found. In particular, we highlight the occurrence of mixed mobilization processes. Likewise, institutional (family) and organizational (educational institutions) contexts conditioned these processes in different ways. Teachers recreated organizational routines that had already existed before the pandemic, but also developed new support practices. Some of these practices tended to become routinized, but others were resisted, due to their unintended negative consequences on teachers’ lives. These results add new analytical elements to existing theories on social support mobilization processes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Support networks and organizational context: Peruvian teachers in times of pandemic(Colegio de Mexico, A.C., Departamento de Publicaciones, 2024-01-01)As a result of the pandemic, educational systems in Latin America began to operate remotely through the internet. New needs arose that had to be met to guarantee the continuity of classes. In this context, marked by great uncertainty, this article investigates the role of the personal networks of Peruvian teachers, as potential sources of support. Likewise, the mediation of the educational organizational context in the functioning of these networks is analyzed. The methodological design was mixed in nature. Results suggest the presence of multidimensional support that went far beyond work-related matters. The organizational context favored mutual support practices, but also had unintended negative effects on teachers’ personal lives.
