COSTA, Clara Corrêa da  and  MORGADO, Fabiane Frota da Rocha. Education in exceptional times and perspectives for the new basic education scenario. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.67, e60. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v34.n.67.s16948.

This research aimed to know the social representations about Education in the period of the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of Basic Education teachers who work in the Initial Years of Elementary School and to understand the challenges and perspectives of changes in the educational scenario from the perspective of reported experiences. The investigation was guided by the Theory of Social Representations, developed by Serge Moscovici, in its procedural approach, by its ability to condense information, values, beliefs and perceptions. The main data collection strategy was the focus group, as it facilitated broad discussion among multiple participants. Content analysis was used, as proposed by Laurence Bardin. The following categories were identified: challenges of Education and changes in Education. They gave rise to the following subcategories: anxiety, inequality, resignification of practices and curriculum. The results make it possible to contribute to the debate about Education in times of exceptionality and to discuss new perspectives for the Initial Years of Elementary School, so that they meet the needs of the current educational scenario.

Keywords : Social Representations; Basic Education; Covid-19.
