Challenges in the educational practice of history teachers in emergency remote teaching at a Federal Institute in the State of Minas Gerais

Abstract

The study aims to analyze challenges imposed on educational practice during Emergency Remote Teaching (ERE), from the perspective of History teachers, who work in the 1st year of High School at a Federal Institute of the State of Minas Gerais. We understand that there are many challenges imposed on teachers for the resignification of educational practice, so we sought to understand the current scenario and the process of implementing the ERE and to know the perceptions of the participating teachers in the face of the challenges that arose with the COVID-19 pandemic. The research is exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach. The results point to two main interconnected challenges: the efforts and excess work on the part of the teachers, who do not reach the expected result, given the low student participation, making the level of knowledge acquisition worrying.
