REMOTE TEACHING DURING THE PANDEMIC: TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS FACED BY TEACHERS IN THE ADAPTATION PROCESS

Abstract

Technology played a key role in remote teaching during the pandemic, bringing with it several challenges for teachers, including lack of access to equipment and internet, the need to adapt to new platforms, and the lack of adequate training in using these tools. Technology-enabled education, in turn, presents changes in the use of technology for pedagogical purposes. Positively integrating technology into education is no easy task, as it requires effort and preparation from everyone involved in the school, thus posing a significant challenge for teachers. However, even amidst numerous demands, its significant contributions to the teaching and learning process can be seen when used with direction. To this end, two teachers from different fields were invited to analyze the main challenges and difficulties related to the topic of technological transformation in everyday educational life.
