The challenges and opportunities experienced during Emergency Remote Teaching in the disciplines of Physics and Mathematics

Abstract

The pandemic context experienced in the last two years has caused several changes to occur in the most varied sectors and processes. With regard to Education, a profound readjustment was necessary to make it possible to continue teaching in this new reality. In this context, face-to-face teaching institutions had to modify, in a short period of time, the form of contact with their students and the teaching and learning processes through the use of Information and Communication Technologies. The objective of the work presented below was to analyze the challenges and opportunities experienced by teachers of Physics and Mathematics at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Minas Gerais, Arcos, Formiga and São João Evangelista campuses during Emergency Remote Teaching. As an instrument for data collection, an anonymous and voluntary online Google Forms questionnaire was directed through e-mail and WhatsApp groups to these teachers in order to identify the scenario experienced and how these disciplines are in the midst of to the process of change that has taken place, as well as to analyze the training of teachers regarding the use of Information and Communication Technologies. From these analyses, the work presents relevant information about the use ofthese technologies, showing an opportunity for a positive contribution both in contexts similar to Remote Learning and in post-pandemic learning processes, providing new ways of teaching and, mainly, of learning.
