E agora? Propensão dos estudantes de contabilidade a adotarem a educação a distância após o ensino remoto

Abstract

The research sought to verify the propensity of undergraduate students in Accounting to take the subjects proposed in the curriculum structure of the course in the face-to-face, distance or hybrid modality, after the experience with remote teaching. In order to do this, the methodology encompasses descriptive research and a quantitative approach. In this study, data collection was carried out through the application of a questionnaire deposited on the Google Forms platform. The sample is composed of 178 students enrolled in the 5th and 10th period in Accounting course of a public institution in Minas Gerais who proposed to participate in the research. The results indicated that, despite the adaptation in the teaching format due to the pandemic period, the students, in the possibility of offering the disciplines, would choose for the most part, because they take the disciplines whith specific Accounting content, while the courses offered by other areas of knowledge (Management, Economics, Law and Mathematics/Statistics) are preferably chosen for distance learning. Some of the reasons that affected this choice are the lack of interaction among professors and colleagues and the difficulty in maintaining focus and concentration during remote classes. Although, for the most part, opting for face-to-face teaching, students claim to have no problems with the technology and structure used in the virtual learning environment.
