UMA BREVE REFLEXÃO SOBRE OS RECURSOS E METODOLOGIAS ADOTADOS NAS AULAS DE QUÍMICA DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA NO PERÍODO DE PANDEMIA DE COVID-19

Abstract

The current situation of Education in Brazil and in the world has been and is being deeply marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it requires a critical and reflective analysis of this context unprecedented and contemporary, mainly focusing on the historically challenging teaching of Chemistry in mid-level public institutions. In this sense, this work proposes a comparison between Distance Learning (EaD) and Emergency Remote Learning modalities (ERE) in Brazil, based on their characterizations and adopted methodologies. In this way, we aim to provide the reader with a reflective analysis about the tools that made possible and are enabling, even if in an uneven way, the non-permanent stoppage of the teaching-learning process, even in a pandemic context that has lasted longer of one year. Given this context, it is proposed to analyze the resources made available during the pandemic focused on the context of teaching Chemistry. To this end, the general objective was of this work, characterize the teaching of Chemistry at high school level, in public schools during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the years 2020 and 2021. specific objectives: establish the differences between distance education and ERE; analyze the methodologies of Chemistry teaching that underlies the ERE; relate the challenges that permeate the classes of Chemistry in this teaching modality; analyze the impact of the ERE on external evaluations educational institutions with emphasis on ENEM, the main gateway to higher education in the country; consult data on the ERE, directly related to Chemistry, in publications recent. Making use of bibliographic data and arguments from educational theorists, these questions were reflected on, and on the impacts of this period on Chemistry Teaching, which show pertinent today. At this point, it is important to remember that due to the conditions discrepant socioeconomic factors in Brazil, the teaching practices that are conveyed to the ERE, varied greatly from region to region, thus requiring a broad look that makes it clear the heterogeneity of the country's reality, based on available publications and reports in the media in general. Finally, the final considerations on the studied topic and the reflections for future work, given the need to deepen the study. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic. Emergency Remote Learning.
