Remote Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Since the COVID-19 pandemic situation affected the entire world, several studies were conducted to analyse, evaluate, and inform the education community of the best practices to adopt regarding a remote teaching and learning context, bridging the necessity to understand how online learning, mostly remote teaching and learning, can effectively accomplish and fulfill the professional and academic goals of curricula. Which are the practices implemented? And how did teachers who were used to face-to-face teaching deal with it? This book chapter aims to understand the experience of teachers in Portugal of different grades of education (n=466), during the COVID-19 Pandemic, in the year of 2021, prompting to identify the educational approaches, techniques, and strategies that teachers adopted to teach their students and maintain or increase their level of motivation to learn in a remote teaching environment. Additionally, the chapter proposes and sets recommendations based on the data collected, and on literature reviewed about this theme.
