Expanded Community for Research in a virtual environment (CAP on-line) on teacher work and health

Abstract

The new Coronavirus pandemic has affected the dynamics of everyday school life, forcing teachers
to adapt to the demands imposed by social distancing. This scenario also involved the surveys, whose data collection techniques took place in person and had to be carried out remotely. This text aims to describe the trajectory of the expanded research community, adapted to the virtual format, as part of the research that sought to examine the new requirements of remote teaching and its implications for teachers’ health. Three workshops were held with the participation of elementary and high school teachers. It was observed that the research process has correlations with the results of the study, especially concerning new learning brought by remote learning. It is concluded that sharing work experiences through online CAP is a possibility. However, the improvement in the modes of virtual interaction, mastery of the technological apparatus, and access to quality equipment are elements to be observed in order to improve this collective approach to investigation.
