| Sumario: | Given the difficulties of the home office work generated by the pandemic of COVID-19, especially considering university teachers, the present study aimed to investigate the ergonomic aspects and the impacts of social isolation experienced by tutors and teachers who form students from distance undergraduate courses, at a Ceará university. This is a descriptive qualitative and quantitative research, with the application of an online questionnaire consisting of 37 questions (objective/subjective). 146 individuals participated, of whom 56.2% were women, with a mean age of 41 years. 54.1% reported an accelerated work rate, 37.7% had physical discomfort and 34.9% had emotional discomfort. 83.6% are practicing social isolation, 63.7% had sleep changes, 65.8% have consumed more food, 94.5% have assumed more domestic/family obligations, yet 48.6% have maintained productivity. Finally, it is expected to advise managers on the dynamics of distance learning activities and allow reflection on educational practice in adverse times. |
