Ensino remoto no curso de Licenciatura em Biologia da UFRB: percepções de estudantes

Abstract

Faced with the context of the covid-19 pandemic, which led society to experience a new reality with the need for isolation and social distancing, educational institutions had to be closed, leading several governments, including Brazil, to implement a new modality of teaching called remote/emergency teaching. This condition allowed students to continue their studies in the pandemic scenario. To contribute to this discussion, this work aimed to know the perceptions of students of the Licentiate in Biology course in relation to the teaching and learning processes experienced during the offer of remote teaching at UFRB. To achieve this objective, we carried out a qualitative research, using the questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The research participants were two groups of students: the first who joined the Course before the pandemic, therefore in face-to-face teaching; and a second who joined the Course during the pandemic, therefore in remote teaching. The results found showed an important distinction between the two groups of students regarding their perceptions of remote teaching. Thus, we evidenced a much more positive perception for all aspects questioned in the instrument among students who entered the Course before the pandemic and who, therefore, had previous experience in face-to-face teaching, which led us to believe that this was the main condition for results found.
