Resumen
In March 2020, schools had to move to an online format as a result of the pandemic. Subsequently, they returned to the classroom in a hybrid format until full face-to-face. This paper analyses the perception of management teams regarding the implementation of digital competences during the pandemic by COVID-19. To this end, eight interviews were conducted with management teams from public, subsidized and private schools in the Community of Madrid. Three very marked scenarios were obtained: a first stage of survival and uncertainty for schools without a technological development plan; a second stage of coexistence of face-to-face and digital with a considerable reinforcement of the latter as a result of the experience of the previous stage. And finally, a continuation of digital competences in the face-to-face format. At the same time, many schools were faced with a digital divide among families and a lack of teacher training in digital skills. This was compensated for by the coordinated work of the management teams, a positive attitude and a great adaptability to adapt to this new situation and determine appropriate plans to achieve the learning of their students. © 2022, Hipatia Editorial.
