Assessment of the social and psychological impacts of remote teaching during the pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought to the general population and to students and teachers an emergency condition of distance learning, where students and teachers had to adapt. We found mistakes and difficulties in current teaching, with a shortage of trained professionals, of appropriate materials at this pandemic moment. Thus, we are faced with the objective of the article, to assess the social and psychological impacts of remote teaching on students during the pandemic. This is a bibliographic review, which aims to collect relevant information to the topic under analysis. It is undeniable the psychological shock suffered by students, family members and teachers. Insecurity, fear of death, mainly when it is close, makes it difficult for the brain to assimilate. We can also highlight the lack of infrastructure, resources, abandonment, school dropout, difficulties of students in rural areas. The online methodology presents difficulties for its practice, since the vast majority of students andschools do not have tools such as computers, digital platforms, compromising adherence. In view of this situation, we can also conclude that the moment is of evolution, where social isolation allows us the opportunity to accelerate a distance learning process. The problems are countless, but all of the faced challenges immersed in our society require transformations, which will be imprinted on students, teachers and family members. We will not be the same,and undeniably our way of educating has collided more abruptly with reality, it needs to change.
