“Prepare o seu coração pras coisas que eu vou contar eu venho lá do sertão”: reports of a teaching experience in times of the covid-19 pandemic in rural Bahia

Abstract

This article discusses the teaching experience of a public Basic Education teacher in the state of Bahia. The interest in the theme is justified by the need and urgency to understand how teaching occurred in Brazil during the pandemic in the most remote places. The reports presented in this study bring the experiences of teaching-learning in an unequal socioeconomic, geo-climatic, educational, and digital environment. It aims to understand, from the teaching experience report, the reality of the teaching-learning process during the pandemic in a state public school in Chapada Diamantina, in the interior of Bahia. This is an Experience Report according to Mussi, Flores and Almeida (2021). In view of the facts exposed, teaching, in rural areas, went through serious problems. Thus, it is thought that, based on these reflections, the recognition of small advances, in face of the great difficulties faced, can be a good reason to promote a more inclusive and digital continuing education for the professionals involved.
