Aspectos motivacionais entre universitários do curso ciências biológicas de uma IES privada para o estudo remoto em tempos de pandemia

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: With the Covid-19 pandemic, social isolation occurs all over the world, which has resulted in various sectors, especially in education as a result of the emergency need adopted by different countries to exercise social isolation. In the educational sector, in-person classes were discontinued, with the adoption of remote learning, that is, online teaching, use of technology, social networking applications, online platforms, among other resources to promote learning without teachers and students meet in person with each other. OBJECTIVES: to understand how the remote teaching model can influence the motivation of biological science undergraduates to carry out academic activities. METHODOLOGY: The study was descriptive and transversal, with qualitative and quantitative character, being carried out with 33 undergraduate students of the Biological Sciences course in both

modalities, bachelor's and licentiate's, from the private HEI in the city of Trindade- GO. RESULTS: During remote classes, 51% of respondents considered that their

learning was satisfactory and 54% said they were motivated to study remotely, but it is understood that the motivation of Biology students for remote teaching was directly affected by the new teaching model that was imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, even so the Biology undergraduates in this research did not stop or drop out of their course, facing numerous challenges, they continued their graduation in the remote teaching model to which they were subjected. CONCLUSION: In addition to the motivational aspects and challenges that, undergraduates have faced during remote classes, it is also worth analyzing the difficulties experienced by teachers, as they, according to the reports of students participating in this study, also struggled and were concerned with student learning. In addition, even facing all the challenges that remote teaching imposed, there was satisfaction from students with regard to their learning, according to academics in the Biological Sciences course.
