Abstract
The closure of the schools as a result of the need to mitigate the dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 virus has entailed the adoption of an emergency remote teaching to which teachers and pupils had to adapt. In this paper data drawn from a wider study are presented. The study aimed at analyzing the conditions in which teachers dealt with teaching, their emotional and cognitive experiences and the personal, professional and contextual factors that have affected their work. Data were collected through an online survey with teachers from all sectors of teaching (n=2638). Findings point to an overall positive perception about the ways in which teachers and pupils responded to emergency remote teaching. However, difficulties were also found. These relate to the functioning of remote teaching, namely technical problems, internal and external distractions, time management and challenges in the interaction with pupils. Implications for (re)thinking remote teaching, in regard to technical and technological, but also pedagogical aspects, as well as teacher education and organisation of teachers’ work are discussed.
