O ensino de química na educação de jovens e adultos em tempos de pandemia.

Abstract

Due to the pandemic caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19), responsible for social isolation worldwide, in-person classes have become remote. From then on, a race against time began so that students would not lose the school year, teachers and students were forced to adapt to the use of digital technologies. However, the newest study environment was not immediately well accepted, with regard to teaching and learning the discipline of Chemistry, it becomes even more challenging, as it has contents that are difficult to understand. In this context, this research aims to investigate the challenges faced by professors and students in the teaching and learning process of the discipline of Chemistry in the EJA classes (youth and adult education) at the Escola Estadual de Cidadã Integral Orlando Venâncio dos Santos in the city de Cuité-Pb, in remote classes so that the experiences lived by both parties can be understood. For this purpose, a qualitative and exploratory research was carried out. Data from this research were collected through two questionnaires, one aimed at 1 professor and the other at 126 students, with 25 participants. From the data obtained, it is noted that the students experienced numerous difficulties with the experience of classes in remote mode. The teachers' lack of practice regarding the use of ICTs in the classroom, favored that the teaching and learning development of these students did not occur as expected. Despite the challenges faced, remote teaching made teachers and students reflect on new ways of teaching, leading them to experience new possibilities and experiences.
