Desafios enfrentados pelos professores da educação básica na utilização de ferramentas tecnológicas de ensino, durante a pandemia da covid-19 no município de Uruçuí-PI

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in several social changes. Schools, for example, had to adopt the remote teaching modality, through digital teaching platforms. With this, teachers had to reinvent themselves, to be able to meet the needs of non-presential teaching. In this sense, it is important to highlight the importance that the teacher has in promoting the continuity of school activities during social distancing. Thus, this article aimed to identify the main challenges of teachers and their familiarity in the use of technological teaching tools. This is a qualitative and quantitative study, comprising a sample of 22 teachers from different areas of knowledge who work in basic education in the municipality of Uruçuí-PI. Data were collected from an online questionnaire, consisting of 12 closed and open questions. Quantitative data were worked using graphs to better understand the results, while qualitative data were analyzed according to interpretation, seeking to understand individual and collective points of view. Among the results found, it is worth noting that 63.6% of teachers have or had difficulties in using digital teaching tools and that 59.1% said they had not received any preparation from their institution to use digital teaching platforms. One of the main difficulties reported by teachers regarding the use of technological teaching tools is characterized by the lack of digital professionalization. Finally, despite all the difficulties that remote teaching caused to teachers and the period, although challenging, it can be promising and enriching for pedagogical practice
