REMOTE EDUCATION IN TIMES OF A PANDEMIC: THE PERCEPTION OF TEACHERS AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE INTERIOR OF MATO GROSSO

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused educational institutions around the world to adopt the emergency remote teaching modality. The teachers used a digital platform to apply the classes, but for this to happen they had to undergo training to remodel their face-to-face education models to adopt digital education. The purpose of this article was to analyze the perception of public-school teachers about remote teaching in times of a pandemic. To this end, the strategy used was exploratory and descriptive, through a field study with information collection through a semi-structured questionnaire, and made available to respondents via the digital platform, GoogleForms. For teachers, the lack of training made adapting to remote teaching difficult, however, the biggest difficulty presented is related to the student, maintaining the focus and active participation of students during virtual classes, in addition to making them carry out the activities proposals and stick to the schedule.
