Análise do ensino remoto no Centro de Tecnologia da Universidade Federal do Ceará e perspectivas para o futuro do ensino

Abstract

In 2020, the Technology Center of the Federal University of Ceará was surprised by the need to adopt emergency remote education due to protection measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). ) to continue activities. Given this scenario, there is a need to analyze remote learning and assess the prospects for the future of education, with a view to an education that is increasingly immersed in the digital environment. For that, a survey was carried out, through an online questionnaire, with the population of 4119 students and 237 professors of CT UFC, in which 395 responses were obtained from students and 72 from professors. Methodologically, quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the main advantages of remote learning are: flexibility of location and timetables, time savings with displacement, recorded classes, or only technology and health security. The main disadvantages are: problems with internet connection, lack of motivation for students and teachers, low engagement in classes, social distance and lack of good structure at home. In addition, the lack of standardization in the way of conducting subjects in remote education generated unequal experiences between classes and made it difficult for students to organize. Another important point was the fact that the use of ICTs and hybrid methodologies are more accepted by students and teachers after the remote experience, which can help in the modernization of teaching at CT UFC even after the return of face-to-face activities.
