As dificuldades enfrentadas pelos estudantes da zona rural de municípios paraibanos com o ensino remoto durante a pandemia de COVID-19.

Abstract

The topic of the difficulties faced by students in rural areas of municipalities in Paraíba with remote teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic is extremely important for understanding some of the gaps in remote teaching. Therefore, the primary objective of the research is to identify the impacts of remote teaching in the communities of Arraial, Caiana dos Crioulos and Porções. We held a theoretical discussion on the subject of remote learning in Brazil, as well as on the national problem of evasion triggered by the health emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic. We did this based on bibliographic sources, informational websites, official sources and course completion papers related to the topic. Such as Marques (2002), Souza (2020), Batista (2023), Araújo (2022) etc. In addition to the websites Gov.br, Paraíba.gov.br, IBGE etc. Data was collected from the aforementioned communities using a virtual questionnaire, in which 36 students and 12 parents or guardians took part. The survey data shows that the profile of the communities is marked by students from lower social classes who have faced difficulties during remote learning. They also point to two fundamental dimensions of lhe challenges faced by the students, namely: the difficulties in accessing the connection network to take part in remote classes, as well as the lack of an environment conducive to the development of this emergency form of teaching, as the main obstacles to the development of learning. Based on the data, we can conclude that remote teaching in these communities has contributed to deepening previously existing educational inequalities.
