Gestão em uma escola rural frente à pandemia COVID19: a viabilização de comunicação e internet à comunidade escolar

Abstract

This article is a case study concerning the third district of Itaquatia, rural area of Santana do Livramento, RS, the Antônio Conselheiro State High School, which had to join the remote teaching modality in 2020. The general objective was to analyze the situation regarding internet access in this school community. In order to analyze the problem, two fundamental questions are presented: how the school community handles the issue of internet access in the context of remote learning in the pandemic; and to what extent a partnership with regard to internet access provides better conditions for remote learning for students in this community, in view of the COVID19 pandemic. Such challenges were intensified, as the demand for social distancing, suspension of inperson classes, cancellation of school transport, difficulty in communication, led to the modality of remote learning. Therefore, the socioeconomic profile of the school community, managers, teachers and high school students was carried out, in order to identify the type of internet access they have and their current communication capacity. Qualitative research was used with bibliographic and documentary techniques, as well as filling out a form with quali-quantitative treatment. Data analysis was descriptive, documental, bibliographical, qualitative data, using statistical treatment and quantitative analysis. It was observed that most respondents do not have an internet that meets the demands, which makes it difficult to carry out tasks sent by teachers, among other difficulties.
