SUMMARY:

This study aims to analyze the developments arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the teaching of sports within school Physical Education classes in the western region of the semi-arid area of Rio Grande do Norte, with an emphasis on the use of digital technologies. The research adopts a qualitative, descriptive approach and was conducted in two stages: first, a survey administered to tenured teachers of the state education network working in the Regional Directorates of Education (DIRECs) of the western mesoregion; and second, an online focus group with teachers selected based on the survey results. The sample consisted of 36 teachers who met the inclusion criteria related to academic background, professional experience, and availability to participate, while the focus group comprised 8 teachers. Data analysis combined descriptive statistics and content analysis. Although the period revealed constraints such as limited technological access, low student engagement, and persistent digital inequalities, it also fostered professional reinvention, expansion of didactic repertoires, and a strengthening of the debate on digital culture in school Physical Education. The findings indicate that emergency remote teaching triggered significant disruptions and adaptations in teachers’ pedagogical practices, requiring new learning related to digital platforms, virtual classroom management, and redefinition of teaching strategies. These processes broadened discussions on digital culture in Physical Education and in the teaching of sports, even expanding the range of pedagogical possibilities in the semi-arid region. Despite the challenges, teachers demonstrated resilience and the capacity to reinvent their practices in the face of adversity. The study highlights the potential of digital technologies to become relevant pedagogical tools, particularly for sports education, and underscores the importance of investing in teacher training and peer collaboration.
