AWAY FROM THE BLACKBOARDS AND BEHIND THE SCREENS: THE CHALLENGES OF REMOTE TEACHING, IN A PANDEMIC CONTEXT

Abstract

The challenges of teaching practices have always been part of the history of education in Brazil. With the abrupt closure of schools, as a result of the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the need arose to adapt face-to-face teaching to online mediations, teachers, who were previously conditioned to merely expository face-to-face classes, where the blackboard and the brush were the main tools for mediations, abruptly find themselves, behind the screens of computers and cell phones, during distance mediations, and technological tools have become essential in this teaching model. Based on this, this work has the general objective: to understand the challenges faced by Basic Education teachers in the context of public schools in Manaus in the year 2021. To address this theme, some specific objectives were listed: To observe what were the significant changes between face-to-face mediations and remote mediations. To identify the most used technological tools for online teaching and which one was most effective in the context of public schools. Analyze the teaching proposals of the Home Class Project. As far as this researcher is concerned, it is essential to promote alternatives that enable and provide access to technological tools to the entire school community, so that teachers can develop a work with excellence in the context of emergency remote teaching, thus avoiding significant losses in the acquisition of learning.
