Voltamos, e agora? O retorno às aulas presenciais e a formação de futuros professores de biologia

Abstract

The implementation of emergency remote teaching, carried out almost immediately, as a strategy to continue educational activities that were paralyzed due to the COVID 19 pandemic and soci al isolation measures, brought significant changes to the educational scenario. Among these changes is the almost mandatory use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) aimed at teaching. In this new scenario, teacher training has incre asingly come into the schedule, making us reflect on the importance of integrating TDICs into curricula, on how teachers were prepared for this new situation of remote teaching and on the influence of this situation on the training of new teachers. With th e objective of reporting the preparation of Biological Sciences teachers for emergency remote teaching and for returning to face to face classes, as well as reflecting on their influence on the training of future teachers, interviews were carried out with teachers of the undergraduate course in Biological Sciences at UFC. When analyzing the narratives of these teachers, it was possible to notice the difficulties and challenges they faced at that time and the importance of continuing teacher education for th e teaching learning process. It is still too early to measure the impacts on the training of new teachers, but we can say that social distancing in this pandemic period has generated profound changes in education, which will hardly be forgotten.
