Educação, Ensino Remoto Emergencial e Tecnologias

Abstract

The emergence of Information and Communication Technologies and their insertion in practically all dimensions of human life, notably in its most current expression in the format of online network digital technologies, posed a challenge to Education which is at the center of the studies of Education and Technologies for about thirty years: how to better articulate technologies and educational processes in order to optimize them - technologies at the service of Education - and prepare students for an increasingly digital and connected world - Education at the service of the best use of technologies – in this historic moment? A large scientific community was formed around the binomial Education and Technologies and produced a robust theoretical apparatus. However, in Brazil, despite the quality of researchers and research produced, there was not a full appropriation of this scientific production by Education professionals, whether they are teachers or school principals of public or private schools, both at Elementary and High Schools as well at university level. Education was not prepared for what was to come. Thus, the abrupt restrictions on face-to-face educational practices in March 2020 due to the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic surprised educational institutions. Ift found them, for the most part, unprepared for the massive use of online pedagogical practices, either from the point of view of the necessary technological infrastructure – hardware, software and connectivity – or from the point of view of the necessary training and experience. This themed issue "Education, Emergency Remote Teaching and Technologies" from Revista da FAEEBA - Educação e Contemporaneidade presents articles that approach this great challenge from different perspectives in scientific research in Education and Technologies.
