Abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all people without discriminating any border, country, race, ethnicity and so forth (Arroio, 2020). Thus, it has acted as a new playmaker in recognizing the importance of education and social justice. As stated by Usak et al. (2020), we, as educators, should pay more attention to the development of students’ awareness and scientific attitudes. Thus, they are able to think, understand, decide and make an action about any urgent event or "forced" transition, i.e., the pandemic process (Rodgríguez et al., 2021). Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have generated a climate of fear for scientific advances and mass vaccination as well as regulations on lockdown, socialization, and hygiene. |
