Educação mediada por tecnologias: tendências durante a pandemia

Abstract

COVID-19, highly contagious disease, provoked social isolation as one of the measures adopted to stop the advance of the disease. The virus caused political, economic, and social problems, especially in education, where classes and classroom activities were suspended, which imposed a new educational model, supported by digital technologies and based on online education methodologies. This article seeks to reflect on the Brazilian educational scenario in face of the immediate changes in education through the use of technologies. For this, a systematic review of literature from the scientific community was carried out, based on the productions published in the Portal of Periodicals of CAPES and in the Brazilian Journal of Informatics in Education, totaling 6 articles, in the period from March to December 2020 where they reveal the effects and challenges of the pandemic in education. In the analyses, the need for rapid adaptation of educational institutions for remote education and the development of teachers' digital skills and competencies stand out. It was concluded that there are several technological resources capable of helping teachers in their pedagogical methodologies, especially in the Covid-19 pandemic, however, they are being used abruptly, i.e., automatically and without prior knowledge of the technical terms and skills required to explore such tools.
