O lugar da afetividade no planejamento de aulas remotas de Química de professores do ensino médio

Abstract

The study of affectivity in the school context has great relevance due to its relationship with teaching-learning. Research shows that the activities developed by teachers must be permeated with affectivity so that they can develop an environment conducive to positive interactions and the construction of knowledge. In this sense, considering the physical distance between teachers and students in classes (as a function of sanitary measures in the COVID-19 pandemic), the objective of this study was to understand how high school chemistry teachers included affectivity in the planning of remote classes. The choice of teachers in the field of chemistry is justified by the fact that this science is considered by many students as difficult and discouraging. And that this may have been accentuated in the remote teaching model. The present research is classified as basic in nature, with a quantitative-qualitative approach and a descriptive approach. 21 High School chemistry teachers participated in the research, who ruled remote classes at some point in the pandemic. Data collection was carried out through an online questionnaire, containing open and closed questions. The analysis of quantitative and qualitative data occurred through descriptive basic statistics and content analysis, respectively. The results indicated that the teachers included objective affective domain (feeling, opinion and attitude) in the planning of remote classes, because they cared about providing an interesting and interactive virtual learning environment. But they found difficulties with participation, as some students did not turn on a camera or microphone or had difficulties with access to technology. It is also noteworthy that concerns with the physical and emotional state of the students was little mentioned. It is concluded that teachers may have been more concerned with issues of dynamism of the classes than about the well-being of the students.
