Abstract
The social and physical isolation caused by COVID-19 changed the world's educational reality. This article aimed to identify publications in the world literature that report the impacts of such isolation on the learning process of children and adolescents in elementary education. The results showed that among the fourteen studies analyzed, there is an alert to the students in situations of social vulnerability, with the worse repercussions on girls at risk for early pregnancy and overload of domestic work, as well as academic losses due to the absence of food in the school context of those who depends on the school to survive. There are still few studies that give direction to students with educational special needs and, in Brazil, there are no studies correlating the learning process with elementary education students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
