O ensino de Química mediante a pandemia da COVID-19: uma análise baseada na percepção de alunos do ensino médio do IFPI - Campus Parnaíba

Abstract

Due to the circumstances resulting from COVID-19, there was a need to transition from in-person teaching to remote teaching in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus. As a result, educational institutions had to reinvent themselves and adapt to this new reality by adopting remote teaching. Technology became an ally of education and remote teaching of chemistry, as it made this emergency teaching model possible. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate high school students' perception of remote teaching of chemistry. The research participants were third-year students in electrical engineering at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI), Parnaíba campus. This work is a qualitative and quantitative research, of an applied nature, with exploratory objectives and case study procedures. A questionnaire with subjective and objective questions was used as the data collection tool. The results of the research showed that students used smartphones and the Classroom platform to access chemistry classes and materials. Most students had no difficulty accessing the platform and did not miss any proposed activities, but most had difficulty understanding the subject, and most of the surveyed students rated remote chemistry classes as regular, bad, and indifferent. The results made it evident that students faced many difficulties, such as a lack of resources to access classes, a lack of adequate methodology from the teacher, anxiety, and difficulty balancing work with studies. And for students, remote teaching of chemistry was not entirely efficient and had some shortcomings that resulted in difficulties for them
