Abstract

This article discusses the problems and questions that are raised in Education and specifically in Mathematics Education from the problematization of the effects of the pandemic of COVID-19. For this, it was brought together three researchers in Mathematics Education from Brazil, Chile and Spain, who started to meet virtually. Based on these discussions, the group provided the context for each of the three countries in terms of how they have been dealing with the pandemic and selected three tales they lived related to the pandemic, that were used as material elements for a joint discussion in a non localized way. With this path, as results, it is shown an overview of the effects of COVID-19 in different countries related to education, that were categorized in Technical, Political and Pedagogical dimensions. Besides that, questions are presented to Mathematics Education produced from the problematization of the effects of the pandemic.

Danyal Farsani, Universidad de Chile

Dr Danyal Farsani received a BSc in mathematics from Coventry University (2009) and a PhD in Education in 2015 from the University of Birmingham and two post-docs from Universidad de Chile. Dr Farsani is interested incommunication (verbal,vocalandvisual) and frequently presents non verbal training with specific reference to behavior management and pedagogical practices in different institutional settings. As well as his contributions to the fiel dof education, Dr Farsanial so provides training to lawyers, Congress members and the police.

Roger Miarka, Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)

PhD in mathematics education at the State University of São Paulo (UNESP), Brazil. He works at the same university in the Department of Mathematics . His research interests include the philosophy of mathematics education, ethnomathematics, and epistemology. He currently develops a research project that aims at understanding the role of ethnomathematics in society and to develop alternative methodologies for this area.
