Ensino remoto emergencial e as implicações no trabalho docente: um estudo de caso em escolas de Maceió

Abstract

When faced with the pandemic context of the novel coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) - the causative agent of the Covid-19 disease – which had a profound impact on various social sectors, we felt compelled to observe social distancing and isolation in order to prevent the spread of the virus. The education sector was no exception. Reality mandated that a significant proportion of the world´s educators, particularly those in Brazil, undergo the challenge of adapting to the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) format, employing digital Technologies to ensure the continuity of the teaching and learning process. The central question f this study is: what is the perception of public and private school teachers in Maceió concerning the implementation of ERT? In this light, the study aims to scrutinize the implications of ERT for Basic Education teachers who serve in public and private schools in Maceió in the context of the social isolation brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The methodological procedures are grounded on a qualitative approach with a case study design, utilizing the Content Analysis technique. Following data analysis, three categories were identified that embrace the role of technologies in teaching pratice, ranging from pre-existing knowledge to experiences with ERT: a) pedagogical formation and conceptualization of Technologies in education; b) Resources employed during the remote learning period; c) the ramifications of ERT. These findings demonstrate that teachers have been psychologically impacted, bearing a significant burden while utilizing digital Technologies to deliver classes during the ERT, underscoring the neglect of teacher training regarding technological praxis in education. In the face of the demands imposed by the ERT, the Fortitude of these professionals stands out, as they strive to learn and adapt to this exigency in education, ultimately contributing to the solutions of the challenges faced, both professionally and personally.
