1. INTRODUCTION

Humanity has faced several pandemics over the years. The latest and inaction is COVID-19, caused by the New Coronavirus, named by experts as Sars-CoV-2. This virus has caused problems not only in the area of ​​health but also in the economy, politics, education, trade, etc.

It is understood that the problems mentioned above are consequences of the need for social isolation since the disease spreads from individual to individual. Until then, there is no vaccine for it, isolation is necessary. According to Soares (2020), “O conceito de distanciamento ou isolamento social surgiu com a gripe espanhola, em 1918”^[3], proving to be effective in reducing the spread of the virus.

With the measure of social isolation, in the Brazilian educational context, schools needed to cancel  classes and start the search for alternatives that can make them adapt to reality and fulfill their duty to teach even in the midst of the pandemic, because, it is unknown yet, even when the state of isolation will last.

According to Estrella and Lima (2020), “O Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE) aprovou, por unanimidade, nesta terça-feira, 28 de abril, as diretrizes para orientar escolas da educação básica e instituições de ensino superior durante a pandemia do coronavírus.”^[4] These Guidelines include, as a guideline for Elementary Education, Final Years and High School, that non-classroom teaching activities have more space and that they are distributed in educational videos. In order to carry out activities, the supervision of an adult is necessary, who can guide, accompany, support in the planning, determine goals, and times of study in person or online.

This work is an exploratory, quantitative and qualitative research, in which, among the various authors, we highlight Bozkurt and Sharma, Shyamlee and Phil, and Ürün, who have extremely important data in their works to clarify several doubts about the education during the pandemic, as well as verifying the efficiency of the distance learning method, adopted by public and private schools in the city of Altamira-PA, and the role of technological resources in teaching. We also intend to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this method, from the perspective of teachers and students. In addition, seize the opportunity to obtain data on the effectiveness of technological resources in education, awareness of the main problems faced by teachers and students, possible solutions to these problems and highlight the results obtained in the research to support possible planning directed at education in this period.
