Pandemia na educação: as dificuldades encontradas pelos docentes da escola rural no desenvolvimento do ensino remoto e no retorno ao ensino presencial

Abstract

This work deals with the theme of the pandemic in the education of São Borja municipality. The pandemic of the coronavirus directly impacted education in the country, mainly due to the measures necessary to contain the virus spread, such as social distancing, which led to the suspension of in-person classes. Therefore, the general objective of the work is to analyze the difficulties faced by rural teachers in the development of remote learning during the pandemic period. The specific objectives are: to investigate the challenges faced by teachers to continue working during the pandemic; to understand how technological tools were used against the pandemic; and to analyze the losses in learning during the pandemic period, identified when activities returned to face-to-face modalities. To conduct research, the means used were bibliographic research, field research, and semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted with teachers from the Estadual Middle School Militina Pereira Alvarez, part of the municipal educational network of São Borja. The information collected in the interviews underwent qualitative analysis. It was observed that teachers adhered to remote learning during the pandemic period, facing numerous difficulties in adapting to the new teaching model and using technologies to conduct classes. Additionally, the lack of technological tools used by students was highlighted in the research, causing a delay in learning that concerns teachers, requiring intense work in recovering education for these students.
