The objective of the research was to assess student satisfaction regarding their mathematical education in a postgraduate course in administration based on remote teaching during the covid-19 pandemic. The research approach was mixed with a sequential exploratory design. A questionnaire was developed and administered to 65 participants about the type of technological devices used, the challenges faced, and students’ assessment of their level of mathematical education. The results showed that students acknowledged experienced logistical, emotional, and academic challenges during the emergency period. Statistically significant differences were also found because remote teaching promoted mathematical education through effective use of video conferencing, enabling the integration of learning into professional performance, assisting in course planning and adaptation explained by the faculty, and benefiting from the use of virtual databases and asynchronous communication. Additionally, the students rated competences related to administrative situations, mathematical terminology, and the use of tables and graphs at a consolidated level. The conclusion is to incorporate Microsoft Teams as a permanent platform because it promotes timely and continuous monitoring by the faculty, which encourages the mathematical education of the studentsReferences
