Teachers’ Perception During Pandemic Times: Challenges, Opportunities and Changes

Abstract

This integrative literature review aimed to analyze research on teaching action and the challenges, opportunities, and changes in teaching from the basic education teachers' perception during the pandemic era considering the methodologies adopted in research carried out. Regarding the challenges, most teachers identified three areas of difficulties: interaction and communication, student motivation and coordination and learning assessment. Although it was a period of tensions, it was also perceived as a window of opportunity for changes in teaching practices. Develop new skills and knowledge, especially about educational technology, and rethink new ways of teaching and learning were the main opportunities perceived by teachers. As for the changes, they realized technological, pedagogical and social changes on the teaching action.
