NARANJO SEGURA, Juan Carlos. The blog as a didactic strategy in the Introduction to Pedagogy course at the University of Costa Rica during the COVID-19 crisis. Innovaciones Educativas [online]. 2020, vol.22, suppl.1, pp.213-227. ISSN 2215-4132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/ie.v22iespecial..3147.

The article presents a diagnosis on the contributions and limitations of the logbook as a didactic strategy during the COVID-19 crisis. It aims to assess this within the scope of learning in the student population during the development of the Introduction to Pedagogy course, belonging to the School of Teacher Training of the University of Costa Rica, taught in the first semester of 2020. We worked with four groups of students of the course and two of their teachers. The methodology used was from the qualitative approach because it sought to show the experiences and points of view of said actors. For this, the interview and the qualitative questionnaire with open and closed questions were used to achieve the research goal. Among the main results, there was the recognition obtained that the logbook is a useful didactic strategy for the development of the course in the midst of the crisis caused by the pandemic. The logbook encouraged the capacity for synthesis and the development of integrating knowledge, the achievement of meaningful and useful learning for the group of students, the development of self-learning, teacher feedback in a virtual context, the flexibility of learning processes according to the needs and realities of students and teachers. The main limitations were first, that its use took a long time and weariness was evident throughout the semester, and second the Internet access.
