Time management in the COVID-19 context by higher education students from the Liberia campus, Chorotega Regional Headquarters of the National University of Costa Rica.

This article presents the results of research which examines the time management by university students within the educational context in times of COVID-19. The study includes students from the Administration and Systems Engineering careers from the Liberia campus of the National University of Costa Rica. The results are oriented in a mixed approach, with the triangulation of quantitative and qualitative methodologies; a literature review was carried out and a survey was applied to 202 participants. Among the main results is the lack of capacity for time management in educational practices under the remote face-to-face modality, which highlights the irregularity of handling essential elements in daily activities, such as: a calendar, a time management technique, a checklist, and a clear and defined schedule, triggering uncertainty in the definition of objectives that promote a more organized educational practice. The importance of this work lies in the fact that the good use of time requires planning the future in two ways: long term and immediate (medium and short term), which causes benefits such as being more productive and efficient in academic activities.
