BETWEEN SCREENS AND KEYS: INTERVENTION RESEARCH WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN PANDEMIC

Abstract

The article aims at understanding the challenges and risks that arise for remote research-intervention with children and adolescents as digital devices during the Covid-19 pandemic are used. The method consisted of interviews by means of cell phones and computers with 18 children and adolescents during the months of March to September 2020. The results indicate that the relationship established between the researcher and the child is affected, above all, by the limitations due to face-to-face contact. On the other hand, it was noted that both researcher and child were highly committed to develop a relationship of trust. As conclusion, it is highlighted the expansion of the use of two digital devices, above all, of video and voice calls.
