Resumen
Education has had to face the great challenges posed by the “COVID-19” pandemic, including the normal development of face-to-face classes in educational institutions. This study examines the personal experiences regarding the use of technology and its emotional effect, on a group of people from the Senior Citizen Program of the municipality of Facatativá, who had to move from face-to-face classes to emergency remote teaching. Through a qualitative approach and a phenomenological methodology based on direct contact with the chosen population, their narratives being the fundamental input, the research team reviews the information collected employing surveys, informal interviews, diagnostic, and exercise tests to identify individual skills related to the topic of study. As a result, it is expected to recognize the main difficulties faced by senior adults in the technological field and how these affect their state of mind.
