History learning in a pandemic context: What can be and embody a History class?

Abstract

In 2020, the world was heavily affected by the pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 this situation was, in Brazil, greatly aggravated by the deepening of the economic crisis and the inability of the federal government in managing the sanitary crisis. The context resulted in the suspension of presential activities in educational institutions and the subsequential installation of remote learning. In this paper we seek to problematize the impacts of the restrictions of the face-To-face elements that up until the pandemic grounded what we understand as an History class. We point out that the impacts of remote learning rely on, in great measure, the intentionality of the History teaching. When operating with live and potent interaction between the teaching-learning subjects, a lot is lost with the interdiction of the presential class and also with the absence of qualified virtual interaction in remote learning.
