objectives; b) to enhance the acquisition of selected knowledge; c)
to develop specialized learning skills; and d) specific inquiry skills.
In this approach, the macro-objectives explain the reason for the
micro-objectives (Giroux, 1990).
However, the teacher is usually treated as a subject without a body,
without language, without history, without interiority. Often his
methods need to be explained, framed in the status quo in which he
develops his activity. Of course, his reflection goes beyond
accommodating himself to the established pattern:
If the teacher intends to reflect on what he is doing in the concrete
situations of his life, he has to be aware that the "fictions" used to
elaborate the meaning of reality (both in school and out of school)
are mental constructs, man-made schemes, patterns of meaning that
deserve only a "conditional approval". (Greene, 1995, p. 88)
Despite the institutional guidelines that framed the teaching-learning
space, "educational environments in contemporary society (...) are
not properly school environments" (Duarte, 2003, p. 97). Thus, the
classroom, as a meeting place (Duarte, 2003) and now the
exclusively digital sphere as that scenario of interaction necessary
for learning and the correlation of knowledge.
In this regard, Duval's research on reading comprehension and its
necessary intellectual apprehension, carried out in the analog school,
which increases terribly in the digital school: "it can be easily
observed in 6th and 7th grade students" (Duval, 1999, p. 283).
(Duval, 1999, p. 283) that "to answer questions about a text they
have just read and still have in front of them, most of them do not go
back to the text, even when they do not know how to answer, but
prefer to ask the teacher."
The pandemic, product of the COVID-19 virus, has revealed as
never before the enormous concerns about education, about access
to education, about facing not only the technological but also the
intellectual challenges involved in the learning process through the
use of Information and Communication Technologies. Evidently,
there are many tensions that arise: does the student return to the text,
the screen, the icon, the image, when the tutor or teacher asks about
the reading comprehension process? Or does he/she prefer to ask the
teacher? The change from face-to-face education to "distance" or
virtual education affected 861.7 million children and young people
in 119 countries, as a result of the pandemic, due to the isolation
measures worldwide. Lucia Mendoza, well approached in a recent
