Ensino remoto na pandemia: relatos de crianças e de suas respectivas famílias

Abstract

This is a research with a qualitative approach that aimed to listen and try to understand, from semi-structured interviews, the notes made by children from Kindergarten, from the first three years of Elementary School and their families, about the impacts of remote education in their lives. We know that remote learning brought significant changes in the process of teaching these children and, consequently, required new assignments, transformations and adaptations for their families. In this way, we seek to understand how was (and still is) this process of teaching these children and the implications for the lives and routine of their families during this context. In this work, we also bring some important discussions on recent research carried out on the impacts of remote learning, made by researchers from different public universities in the country, such as the research “Infância em Tempos de Pandemia”, developed by researchers from UFMG. We also had as a reference Marin et al. (2020) - published in the series of booklets “Saúde mental e atenção psicossocial na pandemia COVID-19”, by FIOCRUZ -, the legal bases of brazilian education (CF, LDB, DCNEI and BNCC), as well as other documents. We also present some fundamental concepts for understanding the schooling process of children, such as the concept of childhood. The research pointed out many losses for children and, consequently, for their social, affective, emotional, physical, psychological and cognitive development. We emphasize that families have become central figures in the mediation of remote teaching, even without having adequate training for this. It was also clear that the families themselves felt powerless many times. Finally, we concluded that it will be necessary for us to continue reflecting and seeking together - family, school, public authorities - for better conditions for teaching these children.
