Ensino remoto emergencial: percepções e olhares dos discentes da Unipampa

Abstract

In 2019, the first case of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected in Wuhan, China, leading, in a short time, to an increase in cases that spread rapidly around the world, causing, in February 2020, a pandemic. Affected countries were obliged to put in place measures to stop the rapid advance and spread of the virus. In March 2020, the education minister authorized the replacement of face-to-face teaching for Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). In this sense, several universities opted for the ERT, and Federal University of the Pampa, the classes are was retake in September 2020. Thus, the objective of our work is to understand the perceptions and views of UNIPAMPA students about Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). As a methodology, we built a questionnaire composed of thirty-one questions using Google Forms in order to verify the perceptions and views of UNIPAMPA students to this new teaching model that reflects the world reality of education. In this questionnaire, we evaluated the perceptions, perspectives, learning difficulties, adequacy of new technologies, adequacy of students' routine, among other aspects. As a result, we have that four hundred and twenty-five (425) students participated in the research in which the majority are female, single, without children and do not work. About the study environment during the ERT, the research revealed that 79% of respondents said they have an appropriate place in their home to be following classes and use their notebook and smartphone to accompany academic activities. Most learned some new technological tool and 64% of students noticed at some point the decrease in learning in remote classes during the ERT. Regarding mental health during the ERT, most students responded that they felt that remote teaching had a direct impact on their mental health, feeling anxiety, anguish, demotivation, stress, among others. In this way, we hope that this work incites the critical sense of UNIPAMPA students so that they can carry out future research on the subject, expanding the research sample and offering a database so that the university can make decisions according to perceptions and difficulties pointed out by students and teachers.
