Investig. Cienc. Soc. [online]. 2024, vol.20, n.2, pp.197-210. ISSN 2226-4000.  https://doi.org/10.18004/riics.2024.diciembre.197.

Higher technical-professional education (ESTP) has had a major challenge in this Covid 19 pandemic, since its teaching-learning process is based on the offer of shorter courses, with a high specialization of practical work for students and strongly articulated with the productive apparatus. Based on a case study of a private institution in the region of Ñuble - Chile, the effects of distance education were investigated by applying a survey to 163 students in higher courses, 49 teachers and 7 senior managers. A validation of the evaluation instrument was obtained with a Cronbach's alpha higher than 0.75 in the three cases, measuring technological, psychological and teaching aspects. Among the results to be highlighted, it can be evidenced that the students achieved the transmission of contents, not affecting learning thanks to the available technology. However, they frequently presented states of sadness and melancholy, with a marked personal and emotional wear and tear. On the other hand, teachers were able to comply with the transmission of theoretical contents, but with episodes of sadness, anxiety and lack of motivation. On the other hand, managers fully complied with the goals proposed during this crisis.
