Impactos da pandemia na escolarização: um relato da experiência de professores da educação básica no município de Ipueiras – TO

Abstract

This present study focuses on presenting the experiences lived by primary education teachers in the municipality of Ipueiras, TO during remote teaching amid the pandemic. The research problem of this study is to identify the main difficulties encountered by the teachers of Ana Sousa Paiva School during remote teaching. The overall objective of this textual production is to report the teachers' experiences in the pandemic context regarding the adaptation from face-to-face to remote teaching. The specific objectives are to understand how remote teaching was provided by the schools and teachers, identify the challenges that remote teaching posed for content delivery, and analyze how the teachers evaluated the teaching-learning process during the pandemic period. The methodological approach of this study is qualitative, with an exploratory nature. Dialogic conversations were conducted using a semi-structured script, and the dialogues were recorded and subsequently transcribed in full. Through the obtained analyses, it was possible to observe that the teachers faced significant difficulties, with emphasis on four main topics that were frequently discussed: preparation for higher education, learning through guides, difficulties accessing the internet, and the return to face-to-face classes. The results corroborate the challenges experienced by primary education during the pandemic period. Given the social inequalities, especially in smaller municipalities, it was observed that the learning strategy standardized by the Department of Education (Seduc) did not consider the regional context in which the teachers were inserted. According to the teachers, students' learning during this period was weak, with numerous gaps that need to be addressed, as they may lead to serious future problems.
