Abstract

This article objectifies to analyze the strategies adopted by managers from Minas Gerais Federal Institution (IFMG) with the goal to lessen the impacts caused by the urgency of the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERE) implementation which occurred in the pandemic period of the Covid – 19. In theory, we call upon Aguiar’s and Pacheco’s studies (2017), once those authors discuss about the Federal Institutions’ goals. We also take Hodges; Moore; Locke; Truste and Bond (2020) for dealing with ERE’s denomination. And Saviani and Galvão (2021) for discourse about the emergency character of bid of the school activities in health crisis times. Methodologically, we adopt the qualitative perspective, according to Minayo (2003). The adoption of manager new strategies, aiming the permanent quality of omnilateral teaching and formation in Technologic Professional Education (EPT), demonstrated the managers’ attention to the structural inequality between the students, the lack of institutional resources and the teachers’ and the administrative technician’s lack of qualification to the digital media. Furthermore, we observed that there was the intention of the rectory managers to regulate the ERE, guide the campus managers for administrative and pedagogical actions, without losing sight of the mission of omnilateral training, placed in Law 11.892/2008 for the IFs.
