O impacto da pandemia nas práticas de alfabetização e letramento do primeiro ano do ensino fundamental: um estudo de caso

Abstract

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) decreed that the world was experiencing a pandemic caused by the new coronavirus. Thus, all over the world, public and private educational institutions paralyzed their activities in an attempt to contain the transmission of the virus. As a prophylactic measure, social distancing was adopted. With this, the need to review the teaching and learning methods and to search for viable strategies for the educational process became a task of paramount importance, because all education networks had to adopt new training practices, such as the Emergency Remote Learning (ERE), approved by the Ministry of Education (MEC), as a way to replace classroom lessons by digitally mediated classes, in order to reduce the educational damage of school closure. The present work deals with the impacts of the use of these technologies in the literacy and literacy process of a 1st grade class in a public school in the city of João Pessoa during the year 2020. We seek to think about how the pandemic caused profound impacts in relation to the practice of literacy and literacy to the students, with lasting effects on their education. The research methodology was based on a systematic literature review and on a case study, based on the internship experience at the school. The results obtained showed that the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus had a strong impact on the students' formative itinerary and on teacher training.
