Remote Education in pandemic times

a case study about the family experience of Elementary School Students II

Abstract

Remote education is a term that emerged during the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, which leads to the disease classified as COVID-19. In the face of this global health crisis, new measures were reestablished in various sectors, and education was no exception. It became necessary to seek alternatives to confront this emergency situation, and one of the first strategies adopted in education was the implementation of emergency remote teaching, as it was initially called. Over time, the term was shortened to simply remote education, since the emergency situation had extended for many months, even though the health crisis still persisted. Within this reality, the educational process shifted from the school environment (in-person) to the domestic environment (remote), requiring adaptations in the teaching and learning process of students and involving adjustments by education professionals, students, and their families.
