Resumo:The paper reflects on the impact of the health crisis on higher education in Costa Rica, specifically since the year 2020. It aims to demonstrate the scope and limitations of a virtualized education for higher education in Costa Rica. It is based on a reflection not derived from an investigation; that is, it recovers theoretical perspectives on the object of study, and it opens the possibility of debates and meeting points, generating a documentary reflection that problematizes the feelings and experiences of teachers, students, and researchers in the face of the health crisis caused by COVID-19. It is essential to take advantage of the health emergency to criticize the technicist past or the verbal, vertical, and numerical tradition of Costa Rican education and rediscover participatory democracy in the classroom, even in emergency contexts.
