Résumé

Cet article présente une revue de la littérature portant sur l’impact de l’enseignement à distance d’urgence dans les milieux ruraux à faible revenu, afin de contextualiser les expériences vécues dans les régions rurales de la Nouvelle-Écosse pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. La littérature examinée comprenait 37 articles provenant de pays occidentaux, dont la majorité adoptait une méthodologie d’enquête reposant sur des entrevues, des observations du terrain et des analyses littéraires comme principales sources de collecte de données. Cette revue offre un aperçu des expériences de l’enseignement à distance d’urgence dans ces communautés, adopte plusieurs points de vue et souligne la nécessité d’intégrer une pédagogie rurale éclairée par la pandémie dans les programmes de formation à l’enseignement.
