Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has caused significant impacts on all layers of the population, with special attention to its effects on the educational environment. Therefore, from the perspective of contemporary history, this work investigates the implications of the rapid adoption of digital technologies in two schools focused on basic education located in Cacimbinha and Bonita de Fora, in the municipality of São João do Tigre, Paraíba, as part of the impacts imposed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (2020-2022). The study is structured in two chapters and aims to explore the technological demand in basic education, highlighting the role played by the management of the Pedro Bezerra Filho School in the district of Cacimbinha and the Semeão Monteiro da Costa School in the Bonita de Fora area, rural zone of the aforementioned municipality. It seeks to discuss the use of digital technologies in the educational environment of an inland area in Paraíba and the difficulties and challenges faced by managers, teachers, and students. It also investigates the social and educational impacts on the mentioned schools, considering the students' perception of their experiences and the challenges faced in their formative processes in the pandemic context. Methodologically, the work was guided by the qualitative approach to quantitative data, which was collected through a questionnaire applied to students from both schools covered in this study. The interview technique was also used, following the methodological perspective of Oral History. The results obtained show similarities in the challenges faced by managers, teachers, and students in the educational spaces during the researched period. These results guide towards contributing to reflections on digital accessibility in the basic education school environment, with a special focus on the predominantly rural student population from the areas of Cacimbinha and Bonita de Fora in the semi-arid region of Paraíba.
