Desempenho acadêmico em cursos presenciais : um estudo comparativo antes e durante a pandemia da Covid - 19

Abstract

Emergency Remote learning adopted during much of the Covid-19 pandemic was a modality that impacted the teaching-learning process in all educational institutions. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to compare the students' performance in the face-to-face period concerning the remote one, verify if there was a variation in the students' performance during these periods, and relate the data extracted from the academic system with a survey applied to the students, to verify the possible reasons about the changes or the maintenance of performances in the two periods. The data extracted from the system totaled 33,871, collected among all curricular components offered, in the universe of all UNIPAMPA campuses. They were prepared in a spreadsheet and explored in the RStudio software, with tables and graphs being constructed to facilitate the visualization of the information. The survey was answered by 1,073 students from all UNIPAMPA campuses. They were also prepared in an Excel spreadsheet and explored in the Orange software. Word clouds were built with the open questions that constituted it. Graphs were also constructed in the Rstudio software, based on the students' responses. The results showed that there was a variation in the performance of the students, and, in general, in the remote period they obtained better performances than the classroom; however, similarities and differences were found between the campuses and the areas analyzed, as well as in the students' perception of the system's data
