Virtual field trip as a resource in environmental education during the pandemic period - translation to real space

Abstract

The pandemic and the consequent social isolation have changed the perception of space and the relationship between the real and the virtual. This paper analyzes an experience of remote teaching carried out during the pandemic period of COVID-19, to reflect on how the appropriation, translation, and re-signification of the virtual space into the real one happened, that is, what was the construction made by students regarding the understanding of contents and places explored virtually. The results obtained allow us to infer the aggregative role of non-formal teaching spaces and the importance of using different didactic tools in the search for overcoming the most varied limitations, including moments of social isolation.
