Teaching in pandemic times: teachers’ dialogues in the triple border

Abstract

The article presents primary investigations and reflections on experiences shared in a study group that gathered teachers from three border cities – Foz do Iguaçu (BR), Puerto Iguazú (AR), and Ciudad del Este (PY). The aim was to create a network of dialogues, reflections, and experience exchanges on teaching challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding the methodology, we adopted qualitative research linked to a university extension project, organized in online meetings connecting teachers from different locations to learn about different school realities and to study how each community and each government organized itself for remote class implementation, their challenges, and the possibilities of different media as pedagogical tools. We briefly discussed the project results and the teachers’ deliberations, as it is an ongoing study in its initial stages.
