Education and Learning in Emergency Remote Education: a Case Report of Students' Perception During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The objective of this study was to base discussions based on the student’s perception of teaching strategies, in addition to considering aspects of access to technologies and alternative teaching material provided to students. During the pandemic, access to the planned academic content was prepared to review notebooks in the first two months of the 2020’s calendar academic year, for the technical high school. A total of 135 students were assisted, and information was collected regarding study conditions considering the material offered by the institution. We’ve sent the quiz by email, WhatsApp, and social networks. The quiz contained questions about access to electronic devices/internet, housing, student interaction with the material, experiences, and W of the new content transfer model, and information about the assimilation process. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics. More than 80% of interviewees lived in the city's urban area and had access to the Internet using their cell phones. However, only 60% studied and carried out the activities. The biggest difficulty observed was in carrying out studies in the technical area, which involved calculations, mainly due to the absence of the teacher. Despite the obstacles, more than 65% of the students suggested the permanence of the material. The use of the review notebook was a satisfactory teaching strategy to mitigate, in an emergency way, the damage caused by the suspension of classroom classes due to the pandemic.
