Remote Emergency Classes, Tension and Resistance in Educational Spaces

Authors

Abstract

Due to the suspension of face-to-face classes, educational systems have been forced to find a solution to guarantee access to education for children and adolescents. This phenomenon has brought a series of new and complex situations. The following reflection has as its central focus to philosophically problematize the context of emergency remote education, especially the classes that are carried out by video calls. Questions are raised as to whether or not the participants should turn on their cameras in these spaces and if the classes should (or not) be recorded and uploaded, considering that there are no particular protocols on accessing these types of files. Thus, philosophical reflection attempts to outline a position regarding these issues, without losing sight of the legal frameworks involved in them.
