Ensino remoto em tempos de pandemia: relatos dos desafios enfrentados por alunos dos cursos de educação física de uma universidade pública de Alagoas

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic imposed on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) the challenge of adopting new teaching modalities that meet the needs of students, respecting the norms of social distancing, one of which is remote learning. The aim of this study was to analyze the challenges faced by Physical Education students at a public university in Alagoas in the face of the adoption of remote learning due to the Covi-19 pandemic. 127 students participated in the study. Data were collected through a form made available through Google Forms®. The results show a positive evaluation of the students regarding the institution's decision to maintain the academic calendar in the remote modality. Despite this, a considerable portion of them did not positively evaluate the adaptation of content to remote form and the satisfactory use of virtual environments by teachers. Students reported as negative points of remote classes the lack of practical activities and interaction, the excess of tasks and dispersion. Internet connection problems were also mentioned as one of the difficulties faced. Thus, in addition to the support of HEIs to teachers and students, continuous dialogue between all subjects in the academic community is necessary, in order to find effective solutions for education in this pandemic scenario.
