Research on Scientific Education in Latin America, especially in Brazil, has discussed the contextualization of Paulo Freire’s political-pedagogical assumptions for school education. In these studies, the process of obtaining Generating Themes has been a possibility for the realization of a transforming praxis, but with the pandemic it has faced theoretical-methodological obstacles. We investigated the understanding of supervisors working in the Institutional Program of Initiation to Teaching Scholarship (PIBID), in Countryside Education Undergraduate courses of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia, who participated in a remote training process of teachers, based on Generating Themes. Interviews were conducted with supervisors who were recorded in audio and analyzed via Discursive Textual Analysis, through the categories: Theoretical-methodological and technological aspects for a remote ethical-critical training; Knowing the local reality through the eyes of the other and transforming it together, even though they are distant. Among the results, it is noteworthy that educators, on the one hand, reported that the difficulties of a remote transformative praxis are related to the lack of adequate structure and resources for remote teaching and, on the other hand, the digital platforms made dialogicity and problematization between subjects from different locations possible, constituting as tools allied to remote work with Generating Themes.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; rural education; generating theme; remote teaching; science education.
