Abstract
The main aim of this phenomenological study was to understand the perceptions of academics from the Faculty of Humanities of a state university in relation to remote teaching. The findings show that the restrictive measures of the pandemic affected teachers' mental health more than factors related to remote teaching. They were also affected by the lack of interaction with their students, who keep their cameras turned off. Teachers showed good adaptability to changes in this context, and applied methodological changes and self-care strategies. Despite the fact that more time is required to prepare teaching material, most of them indicate that there are no problems in the distribution of time. It is concluded that the objectives of the research have been achieved, however, the conclusions could be limited. It is recommended that further studies address teachers' perceptions of the future of higher education and conduct less structured interviews that consider gender and age.
