Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in a multitude of measures to counter its spread. These included the closure of schools and an unplanned shift to distance learning. This paper focuses on the teaching-learning-evaluation dynamics (May-June 2020) in mathematics with 311 primary and secondary teachers. Four main issues are identified: comfort in using technology, access to technological resources for students, development of in-depth understanding, and learning assessment. The mathematical activity conducted in a synchronous mode is further discussed, and the importance of knowledge transmission and of textbook-based problem solving is highlighted. Essential knowledge, effort, and participation are the main objects of teachers’ attention as they make their judgements in the evaluation process. The choice of these learning objects seems to have been influenced by the various ministerial decisions that preceded the return to compulsory schooling.
