Ser professor(a) e pesquisador(a) durante a pandemia da COVID-19
Com a pandemia da COVID-19 e a necessidade de seguir protocolos de saúde baseados nas diretrizes da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), a maioria dos professores e pesquisadores começaram a conduzir suas atividades no formato “home office”. Entretanto, esses profissionais começaram a desenvolver as suas atividades em um espaço de trabalho muitas vezes improvisado - muitos deles tendo também que conciliar a vida pessoal, como cuidar de filhos, bem como outras tarefas, como as domésticas. Além disso, observou-se um declínio no desempenho dos estudantes com o ensino remoto, uma vez que a duração das aulas foi reduzida e eles não tiveram acesso a laboratórios para aulas práticas, por exemplo. Em nossa opinião, essas novas experiências mudaram significativamente nossas rotinas, nossa relação com o trabalho, nossa vida profissional, pessoal e interpessoal, e acreditamos que essas mudanças serão irreversíveis.

Being a professor and researcher during the COVID-19 pandemic
ABSTRACT. Following the outbreak of COVID-19 and the need to follow health protocols based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, most teachers and researchers started conducting teaching and research activities at their “home office”. Meanwhile, these professionals began to develop their activities in an often-improvised workspace - many of them have also been caring for their children and doing household chores. We have even observed a decline in student performance with remote teaching, as class duration reduced and students lacked access to laboratories for practical classes. In our view, if the Brazilian government does not invest in improving the quality of remote education and internet access for the population amid the ongoing pandemic, an increasing number of teachers and researchers will develop irreversible health problems due to the precariousness of remote teaching and work.
Keywords: covid-19, remote learning, health problems.
Ser profesor e investigador durante la pandemia de COVID-19
RESUMEN. A raíz del brote de COVID-19 y de la necesidad de seguir los protocolos sanitarios basados en las directrices de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), la mayoría de los profesores e investigadores han empezado a realizar sus actividades docentes y de investigación en su "despacho". Mientras tanto, los investigadores y profesores universitarios han empezado a desarrollar sus actividades en un espacio de trabajo a menudo improvisado; muchos de ellos también han estado cuidando de sus hijos y realizando tareas domésticas. Además, se observó un descenso en el rendimiento de los estudiantes con la enseñanza a distancia, ya que se redujo la duración de las clases y no tuvieron acceso a la mayoría de los laboratorios, por ejemplo. En nuestra opinión, si el gobierno brasileño no invierte en mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza a distancia y el acceso a Internet de la población en medio de la pandemia en curso, un número creciente de profesores e investigadores desarrollará problemas de salud irreversibles debido a la precariedad de la enseñanza y el trabajo a distancia.
