Abstract
The situation in which we find ourselves immersed in the global pandemic of COVID-19 has
resulted in a large number of deaths, and although death continues to be taboo in western society
in the 21st century, it is necessary and urgent that educational centres resume the challenge of
approaching death pedagogically. In this study, a meta-analysis of the current state of death
pedagogy is carried out, providing practical and functional tools and strategies for schools and
high schools. To find all the strategies mentioned, a continuous and systematic bibliographic
search of the last 7 years was carried out. Guidelines are offered to carry out useful and effective
empathic accompaniment, as well as a follow-up of the understanding of death that children and
adolescents have according to their ages. In addition, psycho-pedagogical orientations are also
offered for more serious situations, as well as actions to be taken into account depending on the
casuistry that we may find in educational centres. In conclusion, education professionals are
encouraged to take charge of the great challenge of carrying out a pedagogy of death in a formal
education classroom.
