WHAT DO ACADEMIC PRODUCTIONS IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION SAY ABOUT THE PANDEMIC AND TEACHING PRACTICE?

The aim of the research presented here was to map academic production in the field of education on the pandemic and teaching practice.We used the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the Capes Catalog of Theses and Dissertations as our database.Through a BUSCAd search, we found dissertations and theses published in Brazil on the subject between 2020 and 2023.In all, 36 productions were inventoried, thirty dissertations and six theses.As far as the procedures adopted are concerned, the majority were theoretical bibliographical or documentary studies, followed by empirical studies.With regard to the topic, the most frequently covered was education/teaching--learning, followed by teaching work/teaching practice.Among the five Brazilian regions, the one that stood out in terms of the number of papers published was the South.We noticed that there was no reflection on the adoption of remote classes, the precariousness of teaching work or the worsening of socio-economic exclusion and digital exclusion.The works mapped in this bibliographical review reported on the situation experienced by teachers in schools, without necessarily questioning the type of support offered by the management bodies of Brazilian public education and without problematizing the objective conditions of schools and of teachers and students with regard to access to technologies.
