A flower on the asphalt

Abstract

The work aims to present the successful experiences of family members and teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It starts from the hypothesis that the pandemic brought about a drastic change in the learning processes, forcing mothers and teachers to deal with the challenges of adapting and creating strategies to continue their children's and students' studies. The accounts of mothers and teachers were obtained from a segment of the research titled "Education and Pandemic Impacts," conducted by the Violence Observatory at the University Center of Barra Mansa (UBM) in three municipalities in the Southern Fluminense region of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Interviews were conducted through online focus groups, which were divided into subgroups of mothers and teachers, using Google Meet. Teachers, parents, and the community created resources and conditions to ensure education for the students. There is a recognized need for further research that can shed light on these experiences.
