Uso de podcast como ferramenta pedagógica para aulas remotas durante o período de pandemia do Covid-19

Abstract

This paper presents the experience of using the podcast as a pedagogical tool for remote classes during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The pandemic occurrence had implications, many of them unprecedented, in all fields of our society: public health, politics, economics, social etc. In the field of education, it was no different and, abruptly, it was necessary to break the traditional methodology of transmitting knowledge in person to the remote one form. In this context, among countless options of tools for remote teaching, such as video lessons, live classes etc., the podcast appears as a feasible option, especially when applying as asynchronous remote teaching methodology and, mainly, that has a low consumption of data, facilitating the inclusion of students who have issues in accessing an unlimited broadband internet, relying only on access to mobile networks with limited capacity of available data. The experience of using podcast is being applied in subjects of the Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Program at the Federal University of Ceara – Brazil and, a partial result of the students’ perception regarding the use of this tool is also presented
