O ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS DURANTE A PANDEMIA DA COVID-19: DESAFIOS E POSSIBILIDADES

Abstract

With the closure of Brazilian schools, as a social isolation measure recommended by health authorities and health organizations to contain the spread of SARS Cov-2, the Education Departments of the State and Municipal Governments have opted to adopt the regime of non-presence classes mediated by technology through virtual platforms. Thus, Basic Education teachers all over the country had to develop educational processes in home office systems. Given the above, this study aimed to understand the challenges faced by teachers with the teaching of Science in Basic Education and the possibilities brought in the face of the Covid 19 pandemic scenario. In this qualitative research, a questionnaire containing 11 questions was used as a data collection instrument, whose results indicate possibilities and challenges. As for the possibilities, we mention learning to use new teaching techniques that involve the use of new technologies and the continuous search for awakening in the student the interest in building their own knowledge. The challenges include the complexity for teachers to deal with digital tools in remote teaching in a relaxed way without preparation. Keywords: Science teaching. Basic education. Pandemic. Covid-19.
