Estudo exploratório sobre o Ensino de Ciências da Natureza em tempos de Coronavírus: desafios e possibilidades

Abstract

In this work, the Teaching of Natural Sciences was explored in the context of the new Coronavirus pandemic, since the substitution of face-to-face classes with classes that use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in online classes accelerated their inclusion in the school environment, bringing great challenges. and possibility to the educational area as a whole. In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the publications, using the CAPES portal database (www.capes.gov.br). In the methodological path, a qualitative approach was chosen, with an exploratory and bibliographic character. The research was carried out through a literature review, with the selection of articles considering first title, abstract and keywords that include the Teaching of Natural Sciences Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and remote teaching. As a result of the research, it was found that, as in classroom teaching, active methodologies, digital technologies as a variety of resources and platforms, and investigative experimental activities were mentioned as alternatives to teach Nature Sciences during teaching remote. The challenges identified were several, such as: lack of training and previous experience of teachers, fact of skill with the use of technologies, difficulty in reconciling classes with domestic activities, poor quality of connections and fluctuations in the internet, among others. No studies were found involving the use of scientific knowledge as a means of combating the new Coronavirus. Finally, it is noteworthy that this work contributes to research in the area of Natural Sciences in the context of remote education, pointing out the limits and possibilities in this moment of calamity.
