PERCEPTIONS ABOUT TEACHING GEOGRAPHY THROUGH REMOTE MODE: CASE STUDY IN THE CITY OF FRANCISCO BELTRÃO/PR

Abstract

This work sought to analyze how the developments of remote teaching are happening, in the Geography discipline, in some schools in Francisco Beltrão/PR. For this, three schools were chosen (as a sample of the case study), in order to make this research feasible. The designated schools are: Colégio Estadual Mário de Andrade, Colégio Estadual Cristo Rei and Colégio Estadual Professor Léo Flach. As contextualization and theoretical basis, it was used, mainly, the resulting thinkers: Callai (2011, 2012, 2014), Castellar (1999, 2012), Cavalcanti (1998, 2012) and Straforini (2004). From these, he talked about the Teaching of Geography, linking such theoretical reflections with remote teaching, which has been implemented as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. As a result, a questionnaire was made available to the 9th and 3rd year classes, respectively, in the aforementioned schools, in order to identify the benefits and harms of remote education in the curricular component of Geography. This case study, as its main contribution, allowed us to verify that remote teaching does have its benefits, however, without a shadow of a doubt, it will never replace the quality of on-site teaching. In addition, this article aimed to be a qualified (academic) record of this atypical moment we are experiencing, especially with regard to school/pedagogical issues.
