DIGITAL TOOLS FOR REMOTE CHEMISTRY TEACHING

Abstract

Education underwent a major transformation resulting from the covid 19 pandemic that from one hour to another required the closure of schools and followed the orientation to maintain social distancing. In view of this situation, it was necessary to use tools that would allow the continuity of chemistry teaching remotely so that education would not stop and students would be left without access to learning. There was then the implementation of remote teaching, teaching remotely spatially, even without prior preparation of the school community. Therefore, we have this article as a way to explain some tools and social media that were already used by the majority of those involved, but there is a readaptation of functions to be used in the middle of remote classes and be continued to the students' school years. The methodology was made from the reading of official documents citing the remote classes and articles dealing with the pandemic leading to spatial distancing in schools and the means that were inserted for classes to continue fulfilling the school days and minimum workload required. It was found that the local departments of education, as well as the MEC needed to make adjustments and guidelines for the operation of remote classes, a system ensured by Laws, Decrees and by the BNCC itself that already dealt with the theme. The teachers, together with the entire school community, sought ways to follow up their studies, especially using technological tools to promote meaningful learning, making the planning appropriate to the reality of each school. This article has a basis for future studies on this theme, helping in the possible need for educational adaptations.
