Abstract
Questo studio esamina le sfide vissute e la pedagogia adottata dai docenti universitari nel trasferire online la loro attività di insegnamento durante la pandemia di Covid-19. L'analisi tematica dei dati di un questionario e delle interviste mostra che i docenti si sono regolarmente impegnati nell’offrire supporto emotivo agli studenti e che era riconoscibile una pedagogia della cura nei modi in cui gli insegnanti hanno descritto la ricerca di segnali dei bisogni degli studenti che venivano soddisfatti online. Tuttavia, la comunicazione mediata dalla tecnologia ha reso questo più difficile nell'insegnamento online rispetto a quello faccia a faccia, aumentando il lavoro emotivo degli insegnanti. Gli sforzi degli insegnanti per ottenere l'interazione con gli studenti e il loro feedback per informare il loro approccio di insegnamento sono stati costretti ad un pesante carico di lavoro emotivo che non è sufficientemente riconosciuto o premiato. Questo studio ha implicazioni per il dibattito intorno alla giustificazione dei costi di tutoring equivalenti per l'insegnamento online, poiché rivela che è coinvolto più lavoro emotivo. Le università rischiano il burnout degli educatori esperti a meno che il lavoro emotivo nell'insegnamento online non sia riconosciuto e sostenuto. Inoltre, poiché il lavoro emotivo è spesso sostenuto dalle sezioni meno privilegiate della forza lavoro universitaria, questo studio pone domande scomode sulla persistenza di problemi sistemici e che non possono essere ignorati.
