Sentimentos e dificuldades enfrentadas pelos professores em tempos de covid-19

Abstract

Teaching is one of the most important professions in the development and construction of society. This study aimed to investigate, understand and interpret how the “new routine” is being used in the new teaching modality applied during social distance, caused by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID19) in 2020. Some issues were analyzed such as: What are the measures adopted by educational institutions, which seek in some way to assist teaching work? What are the main difficulties faced by the teacher to maintain his classes? How is the labor day going? Is it possible to reconcile work at home-office with other tasks? What would help the teacher in this adaptation process? What consequences are these adaptation processes bringing to the teacher? These are some of the questions that the present work sought to answer. To obtain the answers to the questions, a relatively simple and easily accessible tool was used, which are the forms. The form was developed on the digital platform google forms, which generating a sharing link can be distributed through digital media such as WhatsApp, E-mail, Facebook, among others. The form was being available for completion for approximately 13 days and obtained 100 respondents, among teachers from different teaching stages and different educational institutions, both public and private. Subsequently, the data were properly treated and discussed according to the literature. One of the results obtained that certainly drew attention was that, amid so many events and work factors, the teacher maintained his concern with the learning, well-being, and health of students. Another point to be highlighted is the significant increase in work hours and overload, a hing index of worries, fear, and uncertainties, culminating feelings of anxiety as described by 78%, stress 52%, overload 69%, and tiredness 63% of the respondents. All of these feelings and concerns significantly influence personal well-being, causing risk to mental, physical and psychological health.
