Ensino não presencial de Química: uma investigação das metodologias e ferramentas digitais adotadas na pandemia de Covid-19

Abstract

This research was carried out with teachers from state public schools in the municipality of Itumbiara-GO, who worked in emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic since the year 2020. The realization of this research was important due to the great changes in education, that made teachers have to adapt to the use of TDICs as the main tool to mediate teacher-student interaction. The research also shows how much the teaching of chemistry was harmed due to the lack of contact between teachers and students, as it is a very abstract discipline, which made the life of teachers very difficult, who had to reinvent themselves, seeking different methodologies so that the students could have a better use of their learning, which proved to be very difficult since the students were unmotivated, and disinterested in relation to remote teaching. The research had the participation of 12 high school chemistry teachers, where through the Google Forms platform, an electronic questionnaire was made available through a link. The teachers described how all their preparation was, from the choice of digital media used, the methodologies to be applied, challenges and difficulties with regard to TDICs, it was also discussed about student participation and effectiveness of the discipline during remote teaching. Due to chemistry being considered a complex discipline, which demands a lot of attention and active participation from students, the absence of laboratory classes and the lack of interaction greatly hampered the performance of classes, even if teachers sought means such as videos among others to replace these activities. The lack of investment in TDICs in schools and in the training of students was also highlighted in the collaboration made by teachers when they were approached on this subject.
