A visão de estudantes de um curso de Administração sobre a vivência da modalidade de ensino remoto emergencial, adotada durante a pandemia do (Covid-19)

Abstract

Through this research, the objective was to analyze the view of Administration course students at a federal public university about the experience of the emergency distance learning modality—ERE, adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through asynchronous “online” interviews, 23 Administration students were interviewed who, due to the pandemic, had the option of continuing in classes in the remote mode, whose answers were analyzed through content analysis. The results show that most respondents liked and supported the university's initiative to adhere to emergency distance learning—ERE. Only a small portion indicated that the adoption of this method was not beneficial and felt unmotivated to continue. The vast majority of respondents described their experience in remote sports as good!? With flexible hours, with the convenience of not having to travel to the university. However, on the other hand, negatively, they describe that they had difficulty in handling the digital platforms needed to attend classes, that the teachers themselves demonstrated difficulty in handling these platforms, generating loss of time and causing students to be demotivated. In addition, some interviewees mentioned that there was an excess of activities received and a lack of information about the support offered by the university. The investigation contributed to highlight the difficulties experienced by students of this distance learning modality in emergency—ERE, resulting from social isolation. And, in practice, this understanding can help the university to monitor, analyze and create ways to solve these problems, in order to improve the experience of students and professors in this type of teaching.
