Tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação – TDIC: desafios e possibilidades dos efeitos do ensino remoto na educação básica pós-pandemia

Abstract

Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) have brought many changes to society, also affecting education. The process of incorporating digital technological resources into educational practices was accelerated during the pandemic, despite the fact that, in many experiences, it was not accompanied by the necessary teacher training. During the Covid-19 pandemic, schools were forced to use DICT to ensure the continuity of teaching-learning processes. This experience, in the midst of the pandemic, certainly brought implications that extend to the post-pandemic period. That said, the general objective of this research is to analyze how elementary schools in the municipal network of a city in the interior of southern Minas Gerais have carried out and/or designed continuing teacher training for/through DICT upon returning to in-person activities. The study is justified because, with the advent of the novel coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and the implementation of emergency remote teaching for practically more than two school years, DICTs played a vital role in the teaching-learning process. However, the results highlight many challenges in the face of the new reality and the countless consequences of the effects of remote teaching in Basic Education. Thus, the research is configured as a case study and part of a qualitative approach, using document analysis and a virtual questionnaire as methodological procedures. In view of this, we understand the training processes for/through DICTs in the context of the pandemic and beyond, proposing, as an educational resource, training workshops that can contribute to teacher training, aligned with the use of digital technological resources. We encourage teacher training, especially in the contemporary context, which increasingly demands different skills. Partnerships between universities and Basic Education institutions can foster good results in this sense.
