the school between the present and future

Abstract

Product of postdoctoral research and discussions promoted in international events of the Academic Network Verano TIC, this article was created from the restlessness of three researchers (from Brazil, Chile and Bolivia) and starts from the assumption that the school is, or at least should be, a dynamic space of transformation. Thus, we seek to discuss the possible developments and paths that arise in the construction of a new design of society and, why not say, of school. In general terms, the Covid 19 pandemic revealed narratives, responses, uncertainties and imbalances, in a generalized state of crisis within the crisis. Drawing from the testimony of three experienced teachers of basic education, who are asked to reflect on the changes in the school over the years, this article brings a discussion based on different authors from education and related areas. It is worth mentioning that this is based on the qualitative approach, adopting analysis of the deposition from eight questions that guide the dialogue with the teachers. Taking into account the reflections raised, which opens a window to in-depth debates about the school and its future after Covid 19, there is an urgency for collective work to think about the school and training model that we want and need.
