Desafios impostos pela pandemia do novo coronavírus aos alunos de uma escola de tempo integral de Fortaleza

Abstract

After a change from regular to full time schedule, which requires a larger amount of time of the students and, consequently, changing their routine a school in Fortaleza faces problems due to the 2020 pandemic and the impossibility of continuing on site classes. The need for a remote alternative to continue the academic year was urgent. However, as an emergencial solution only it was not capable of completely solving the problems only minimizing them instead. For the classes overseen, A and B from the senior year there is an even bigger challenge: ENEM (national exam), a moment that will help shape and decide their future. In order to investigate the difficulties caused by this change in routine, two surveys were performed with the students: one to find out how important full time school is in their lives, based on their views; and a second survey with the goal of identifying the main challenges faced by these students in the continuation of their activities in a moment when their routines were so abruptly altered, aggravating even more a moment knowingly marked by anxiety regarding their future, which is the end of senior year and doing tests to get into a good college. Based on their answers it was possible to understand how school takes an important role in the students’ lives. Beyond the classroom, these perceptions serve as a parameter so that we can understand the difficulties faced in this new routine imposed by the need of social distancing.
