Formação docente em tempos de pandemia: a visão dos professores de municípios de pequeno porte da Zona da Mata mineira

Abstract

The present study sought to know the perception of teachers in the early years of elementary school in public schools in small cities located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais about their training process for the development of pedagogical activities during the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERE, as in Portuguese) adopted in the Covid-19 Pandemic. From this point, identify the challenges of continuing education in this context. For this, based on the Policy Cycle proposed by Stephen Ball, focusing on the context called by the author as Context of Practice, the methodological resources used were the application of questionnaires answered by teachers who were working during the ERE in each of the selected schools and semi-structured interviews with Secretaries of Education of the respective municipalities. The data obtained in the questionnaires were tabulated with the help of the Google Forms application. The interviews were transcribed and organized in tables based on categories such as public policies, teacher training, pedagogical practice, ERE challenges, and memories of the period.
