The implications of teaching during the pandemic

Abstract

The present work is based on observations and experiences of the authors, professors and a bibliographical survey on the topic addressed, in order to collaborate with discussions on teaching and the use of technologies during the period of the world pandemic caused by Covid-19, witch is reverberated in a transnational dimension, affecting the global scenario. The years 2020/2021 were characterized by different feelings arising from the pandemic situation. Adequacy and security protocols were created to prevent the spread of the virus. Amidst this, structural crises were being projected with greater intensity and affected the economic system, health, interpersonal relationships, education and all other aspects of human existence. More specifically, in the educational field, teachers and students needed to adapt to the moment of replacement of on-site classes by the new configuration classes and hybrid teaching. The literature points out that technologies expand the possibilities of teaching and learning, considering that the subjects in their daily lives are linked to the different perspectives of their use and also because they provide the student with a relationship that goes beyond passivity, when used with specific pedagogical objectives. However, remote or hybrid education does not replace teacher-student interaction and its relationships. Considering that the pandemic process highlighted the social weaknesses of all nations, the need for greater investments in education is highlighted, with equipment and training for students and teachers to be able to concretely promote significant learning from the use of technologies.
