A pesquisa educacional sobre o diálogo da sala de aula ao longo das últimas quatro décadas documentou a prevalência da fala e do controle do professor. No entanto, há evidências crescentes de que, por meio do diálogo, os alunos podem aprender mais sobre o tema em estudo, reter os ganhos de aprendizagem por mais tempo e desenvolver habilidades de raciocínio. Esses achados se transformaram em estratégias de promoção de diálogos educativos, tornando-os mais ricos e significativos. Como essa abordagem não é amplamente adotada nas escolas públicas brasileiras, planejamos uma intervenção escolar com foco no desenvolvimento de práticas dialógicas dos professores, promovida por um programa de formação de professores. Em março de 2020, quando a primeira oficina estava pronta para ser realizada, a pandemia chegou ao Brasil e exigiu o fechamento de todas as escolas. Neste artigo, refletimos sobre o que aconteceu com o diálogo em sala de aula durante a pandemia. Em primeiro lugar, apresentamos uma breve revisão das condições altamente desiguais de acesso à internet e aos computadores, meios básicos da nova plataforma educacional. Em segundo lugar, a partir de entrevistas com dois professores, analisamos por meio da Teoria da Atividade, a prática escolar em tempos de pandemia, como os professores têm enfrentado a situação e elaborado soluções para interagir com os alunos. Finalmente, propomos uma ampliação da noção de monólogo e diálogo para incluir mais do que interações verbais. Argumentamos que apesar de todos os esforços do professor para promover mais interações e diálogo, as condições concretas das pandemias impuseram prontamente um modelo monológico de educação.

Educational research into classroom discourse over the course of the last four decades has documented the prevalence of teacher talk and control; questions are predominantly closed or factual, students' responses often do not exceed three words, and teachers’ feedback is mainly about correctness. However, there is increasing evidence that through dialogue students can learn more about the topic under study, retain the learning gains for longer times, and develop reasoning skills. These findings have been transformed into strategies to promote educational dialogues, making them richer and meaningful. Since this approach is not widely embraced in Brazilian public schools, we planned a classroom-based intervention focused on the development of teachers’ dialogic practices facilitated by a school-based teacher professional development program. In March of 2020, when the first workshop was ready to be conducted, the pandemic arrived in Brazil and demanded the closure of all schools. In this paper, we reflect on what happened to classroom dialogue during the pandemic.
