O ensino remoto no curso de Sistemas e Mídias Digitais da Universidade Federal do Ceará na perspectiva dos docentes

Abstract

The objective of the present work is to analyze the virtual teaching strategies carried out by teachers, before and during the pandemic, within the scope of the higher course of Digital Systems and Media at the Federal University of Ceará - UFC. The educational context used in the pandemic is presented, showing the changes generated due to the adaptation of face-to-face teaching to remote teaching in higher education. The UFC Digital Systems and Media course, its history and functioning is presented. The methodology used had a qualitative and quantitative character, in the form of a case study, prepared from the perception of the need to modify the teaching and learning format, by the teachers of the Digital Systems and Media course during the coronavirus pandemic. Questionnaires were applied to teachers in the period between April 2020 and May 2021. Among the results, we highlight the many challenges that were present to teachers in relation to the home office, to meet the demands of teaching in character emergencies, with little planning and time constraints. Teachers needed to find the best methodological way of conducting their classes, with greater use of ICTs and new perspectives of teaching and learning.
