Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the teachers’ work from the industrial engineering course at IFMG-Bambuí

Abstract

Sars-Cov-2 pandemic mobilized emergency and immediate actions in all sectors and societies and affected the dynamics of all citizens' life. In brazil, one of the first changes implemented in the educational sector was the introduction of emergency distance education, done at the touch of box. Studies carried out have shown the effects of the pandemic on the work of teachers of elementary schools and prioritize the precarity of Brazilian education. Scarcity of study of this nature was observed at the higher level. In this sense, the following research question was elected: what are the impacts of social isolation on the work of teachers of the production engineering course at IFMG-Bambui during social isolation? The objective of the study is to answer this question by developing a qualitative research, together with 32 teachers of that course. Among the results, the changes and adaptations made by the teachers to carry out the work during social isolation, as well as the effects on their physical, mental and emotional health, were found. The study generated information to deepen on the subjects that link to teaching work in uncertainty times and developed fully in digital and remote mode.
