Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how the Brazilian education system has been able to adapt to respond to new teaching demands because of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Brazil had to offer quick responses to the epidemic times, with the restriction of many activities of social contact, to avoid the risks of infection and morbidity. During the global pandemic period, online education brought new meanings to knowledge mediation, as well as ways to provide didactic-pedagogical content, evaluation methods, and ways to encourage permanent learning. The new educational normal has forced Brazilian educational institutions to think of new resilient pedagogical models to preserve health and life. However, the drastic educational solutions showed the levels of socioeconomic inequalities regarding access to quality education. Social disparities in the Brazilian educational field revealed the world of the digitally included and excluded. Thus, some aspects of improvised online educational strategies will be analyzed in terms of pandemic and post-pandemic challenges.
