Pedagogical Resilience, from Class to Digital Room
a Comparative Study of Technology Adoption in Brazilian Higher Education Before and During the Pandemic
Description:... With the rise of digital technology, educators must adapt quickly, especially in higher education. "Pedagogical Resilience, from Class to Digital Room" examines how Brazilian educators addressed technology adoption during the pandemic. It sheds light on their experiences, challenges, and innovative strategies for integrating technology into higher education during COVID-19. The book provides insights into local and international educational landscapes by placing Brazil in the global discussion. The research reveals how educators' preferences, subject matter, and institutional policies influence technology adoption. These aspects help us understand how pedagogy and technology intersect in different contexts and open for discussion about how decision-makers may impact students' development. This research also led to the development of the "Inverted Mirror" instrument. This tool helps visualize comparisons and uncover hidden aspects in qualitative and comparative studies. Initiated at Stockholm University as part of a master's degree in International and Comparative Education, the research received support from professors who confirmed the instrument's relevance. A dedicated section in the book explains the "Inverted Mirror" instrument's functionalities and components. This book invites readers to learn from Brazilian educators' experiences and explore how technology is changing teaching methods.
