Profusão terminológica na denominação das práticas pedagógicas da educação básica durante a pandemia de COVID-19

This article analyzes one of the aspects of the educational context experienced during the social isolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic: the profusion of terms born to denominate the actions undertaken to allow the school year to continue in Basic Education. The aim is to comprehend these terminologies and to reflect about its implications to the field of educational technology, from the critical perspective. We have made an exploratory documental analysis of Brazilian’s states legislation and the official documents published by the States’ Education Departaments. The results point to a diversity of new terms without conceptual or legal definitions and an almost full absence of the terminology “Distance Education”.
