Coping mechanisms in Education in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic: adoption of technologies, psychological impacts and new teaching-learning paradigms. Acta Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.43, e55478.  Epub Nov 29, 2021. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v43i1.55478.

This research addresses the challenges faced by teachers and students as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the psychological impact associated with the abrupt need to adopt digital teaching tools in everyday school life. Studies of this nature are necessary to support preventive and/or therapeutic actions aimed at coping with emerging changes. Therefore, it was intended to understand the current scenario of remote teaching and how it interferes with the mental health of teachers and students, in such a way as to train them to deal with this new context, which tends to remain active beyond this pandemic. It was performed a survey of publications on the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. Eight field researches on the topic were found and analyzed. The main difficulties reported by research participants refer to problems related to the adaptability of computer programs, the adaptation of didactic strategies to the digital model and the need to deliver, simultaneously, distance and face-to-face synchronous classes. Reports of exhaustion, anxiety, stress and fear due to the possibility of job loss and/or exposure to the virus were found, besides work overload. As a gap in the literature, it was noted an absence of studies on the topic involving teachers and students of elementary and high school in Brazil and abroad.
