Remote teaching in the pandemic caused by COVID-19

Perceptions of teachers at a countryside school

Abstract

This study focuses on the experience with remote teaching in a school in the Rural Community of São Lourenço, Felipe Guerra – RN, during the pandemic period caused by COVID-19 (2020 – 2022). Thus, the study's central objective is to analyze teachers' perceptions of the School Unit X Professor Antônio Amarildo de Souza, Felipe Guerra – RN, regarding remote teaching. The study used a qualitative approach and was classified as field research in methodological parameters. Three teachers who teach at the referenced school in Early Childhood Education and in the early years of Elementary School participated in the study. As a technique for constructing the data, semi-structured interviews were used, which were carried out in June 2022. It is concluded that the pedagogical practice with the objective of teaching children to read and write during the pandemic period caused by COVID-19, more specifically between the years 2020 and 2022, intensified the work routine of teachers. The lack of continued training for the use of digital technologies was also highlighted, however, teachers, through continuous planning, produced pedagogical strategies that added to the teaching-learning processes with students in the context of the pandemic.
