The Challenge of Remote Learning with the Elderly during the Covid-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT

This article aimed to discuss the challenges faced by teachers of Youth and Adult Education (YAE) in the municipality of João Pessoa/PB, to teach the elderly during the covid-19 pandemic. The qualita-tive method was adopted and information was collected with 10 teachers through a questionnaire in Google Forms virtual format. They were exam-ined with the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The results revealed the difficulties that teachers face in dealing with remote teaching, especially with the elderly, since this portion of the population has its own technological deficiencies and is not used to this teaching format. © 2023, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul,Faculdade de Educacao.
