Abstract

The objective of this article is to identify how the current educational system of Ecuador, as well as the global crisis of Covid-19, led to a divergent path to what was established in reference to the need for a distance modality that, supported by new information and communication technologies, lead to the so-called online education,  and with it, the new trends and training needs that it demands from new educational actors, teachers and students, to achieve an adequate coupling in the teaching-learning processes mediated by technology. The aspect of cultural development, is necessarily grafted on the conditions of the new proposal, as an element of relevant importance that as a transversal axis, crosses the training for an effective insertion of the country's education in the so-called global village, which requires the management of several pedagogical, technical, scientific and social skills in favor of an effective intercultural and global actor.  in a country that by its very characteristics is multicultural, multi-ethnic and plurinational.
