Le télétravail sous les tropiques : les enseignant·es de Guadeloupe et la continuité pédagogique

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study on the teleworking of teachers in Guadeloupe (French overseas department) in a confinement situation. The objective of the survey was to know their living and working conditions during the Covid-19 epidemic. The results show that the smartworking strategies put in place by the French government and local administrations to deal with the crisis resulted in a high level of work overload and dissatisfaction among teachers on the island, while highlighting a series of inequalities. Moreover, teachers have only partially achieved their educational objectives and have not been able to solve the lack of technical means and digital resources that the overseas territories suffer from.
