COVID-19 and the REINVENTION IN LEARNING-TEACHING: the use of active learning methods in distance learning in business courses

Completed

About

Faced with the novel coronavirus pandemic and the suspension of face-to-face university activities, teaching institutions began to reinvent themselves to keep classes going, and adopted Emergency Remote Learning (ERL). However, to keep students motivated and excited about learning, teachers have implemented teaching strategies that place the learner at the centre of the learning process, using active teaching methods. With this in mind, this project seeks to understand how active teaching methods have been adapted for use in emergency remote learning in business courses. In order to carry out this study, which is characterised as a mixed methods research, questionnaires and interviews will be used with teachers and students of business courses in Paraíba/Brazil and Porto/Portugal, who offered subjects during ERL and who used active teaching methods in synchronous classes (online). The qualitative data will be treated from a comprehensive-interpretive discourse analysis, while the quantitative data will be tabulated and treated using SPSS software and the relevant tests will be performed after the identification of the sample obtained.

Final beneficiaries/target population: Educational community involved in teaching-learning processes in administration.
