O impacto da pandemia da COVID-19 no ensino de Geografia - Escola Estadual de Educação Básica de Pariconha

Abstract

In this investigation we describe and analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the teaching of geography at the State School of Basic Education of Pariconha. The school that the research was carried out is located in the municipality of Pariconha, in the hinterland of Alagoas, in the extreme west of the state. The idea for the study arose through the current moment we are living with the arrival of Covid-19, which is a severe acute respiratory infection with great transmissibility and global distribution, caused by SARS-CoV-2. The Covid-19 pandemic started on December 31, 2019 with its first case in China and arrived in Brazil on February 26, 2020, with the arrival of the virus in Brazil and its spread, causing social isolation as a form of security. for the population, it caused several impacts and one of them was the temporary closure of some environments, one of them being the school. In the midst of this pandemic in which we need to face quarantine and social isolation, it caused the closure of schools temporarily and with that there was a need for an organization so that classes could return safely for both students and educators, so it was necessary to do a transition from faceto-face teaching to remote teaching. Thanks to the technological means that were already present in our lives, it was possible to bring education to students, even in the face of many difficulties because the impacts on this teaching environment are many. In this present study, we discuss the theoretical framework, bringing studies on technologies, research on Covid-19 and highlighting laws that emerged in this period. Taken from a quali-quantitative approach, as it was necessary to perform both data quantification and interpretation. The questionnaire was carried out in person for one hundred and twenty-nine (129) respondents, being one hundred and twenty-seven students (127) and two (02) teachers. As predicted at first, from the research carried out, it was possible to understand the great impacts caused by covid-19 worldwide, and especially in school networks, because in the face of the data collection carried out, it was possible to see that the evaluations were negative in relation to to remote teaching, as it did not contribute to the knowledge of many, due to the difficulty in accessing classes, for not having the necessary skills and/or resources to participate in remote classes.
