Desafio do ensino online em tempo de pandemia de Covid-19

Abstract

This course completion report has as its main objective to present the importance of applied theater, in the theater of the oppressed aspect, in approaching the various problems that arise in a given society and bringing them to public knowledge and discussing their origin, resolution or metigation, and this report will present the difficulties experienced by students, teachers and the 4 de Outubro Secondary School in Ressano Garcia to ensure that classes take place in a safe environment and an effective transmission of knowledge during the period of the Covid 19 pandemic. Covid-19 has significantly compromised the teaching process, which has impacted students attending subsequent classes and forced teachers to redouble their efforts to ensure that students can assimilate the subjects in the new classes. This school was chosen because it is located in an area that has boarding students who live in a boarding school regime, students who come from rural areas who earn their income from agriculture and raising small animals, and day students who live near the school in a border area that is totally dependent on trade on the border, which poses a major challenge to ensuring the preventive care required by Covid-19 in the school environment and the implementation of online teaching. Based on a questionnaire, students were interviewed to collect data and, through theater of the oppressed, using theater and drama techniques, students were invited to improvise and explain the difficulties they faced during online classes imposed by the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic and the suspension of face-to-face classes and the establishment of online distance learning. Conducting the online teaching process through the use of ICTs is a challenge for teachers and students at the 4 de Outubro Secondary School in Ressano Garcia, a reality that can be generalized to the entire rural area in Mozambique.
