Educação pós-pandemia: as experiências docentes sobre o ensino e aprendizagem da educação infantil nas escolas municipais Monsenhor Mário Meneses e Némesio Marques Lages, no contexto pandêmico (2020–2021), na cidade de Barras-PI

Abstract

This study addresses early childhood education in the post-pandemic context in the municipality of Barras, Piauí. The Covid-19 pandemic brought significant changes worldwide, directly affecting the local education system. With school closures and social distancing measures recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), in-person classes were suspended, distancing children municipality from the school environment. Early childhood education — a crucial stage in child development—was deeply impacted. Children’s development, family routines, and teachers' roles were disrupted, requiring adaptation to remote learning, which did not fully meet the needs of this age group, especially regarding play and social interaction. These limitations caused learning setbacks, the consequences of which may affect future educational stages if not properly addressed. In this context, the study aims to analyze the challenges faced by early childhood education in the post-pandemic period.
