• Abstract:

  The present work is the result of the concerns of the authors, who, during their doctoral training in a postgraduate program in education, had face-to-face classes suspended, and observed an escalation of replacement of face-to-face classes with other training actions mediated by digital technologies. information and communication (TDIC), perceive limits and possibilities for reflection on current practices in this area. Thus, the text presented here is an inflection to the objects and objectives of the studies for the doctoral thesis, but it is justified by the urgency of this process in view of facing educational issues in a period of pandemic due to Covid-19, an infectious disease that led us to everyone to a forced and necessary quarantine, making weaknesses emerge in higher education in Brazil regarding the uses of TDIC. We see this exploratory study as necessary, and we understand it to be a report of our participation at that time, contrasting distance learning and its characteristics with the model adopted, in pandemic times, which we can call emergency remote teaching.
