There was a sample of 32 university teaching mothers and 42 university teaching fathers. The questionnaire was assigned and implemented online. Content validity was applied and obtained a high reliability. The results showed that university parent teachers presented a favorable attitude level in the cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions, while university mother teachers presented an unfavorable attitude level in the cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions, due to the lack of support, product of the social isolation that has led to configure a post-pandemic feminized context that responds to the changes caused by the health emergency and the transition from face-to-face education to remote education in emergency.
