Abstract
This research studies the narratives of a group of Andalusian teachers regarding their experience of remote teaching in a context of confinement, a product of the quarantines generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The world is going through an unprecedented time in history, which means rethinking the purpose of the school. The method was qualitatively focused from a hermeneutic perspective with descriptive-dense scopes. Semi-structured interviews were applied to 10 primary school teachers in Andalusia, Spain. The open and axial coding allowed to reduce the data with the program Atlas Ti, whose results allow to conclude the intense teaching work that the teachers lived at the height of the first wave of the pandemic, generating anxiety, tiredness and teacher's discomfort. The findings indicate that teaching in times of pandemic is an extraordinary personal and professional challenge for teachers, constituting a milestone that will not be forgotten in their professional career and whole life.
