COVID19, RIGHT TO EDUCATION: IMPACTS ON TEACHING WORK

ABSTRACT

With the adoption of social distancing as a way to prevent Covid-19, classroom lessons were replaced by distance activities, with significant use of digital platforms. However, several limits have been observed in this form of school reorganization that, in addition to not guaranteeing access for all, has impacts on the teaching work. The present text discusses these impacts, based on the analysis of data from research being developed in a city in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais, whose objective is to identify the perceptions of teachers who work in basic education about their work, during the pandemic context. The quantitative and qualitative study relies on the theoretical support of authors such as Ball, Mainardes, Oliveira, Tardif and Lessard and uses an online questionnaire and interviews. The data obtained so far indicate an overload of teaching activities, modifications in the learning process, and the influence of private groups in the conception of education.
