A adoção da webconferência em cursos de educação profissionalo impacto na avaliação do aluno sobre as disciplinas

Resumo

Objective - The study seeks to verify whether the change in the format of classes in Short and Medium Duration courses, offered by three Units of a Higher Education Institution, from the private network, located in Rio de Janeiro, from face-to-face to web-conference format , impacted the result of the evaluation that students do on the way in which the subjects were offered by the professor and the institution, comparing the result of the evaluations of on-site courses with courses through the new technology. Methodology – The study has as its approach a quantitative research, of an applied nature and with a descriptive objective. Four databases were analyzed – a database with all the Short and Medium Duration courses that make up the portfolio of courses of the Educational Institution that was the focus of the study; a database with graduated classes and number of students; another base with 253 files with the tabulation of the averages of the evaluations of the subjects by professor; and another base with the offers and the number of enrolled students. Data were taken from the second half of 2019, when courses were offered in face-to-face format, and from the second half of 2020, when courses were offered via web conferencing. After data collection, the bases were treated using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression analysis and non-parametric tests. Limitations – The analyzed Higher Education Institution did not allow questionnaires to be carried out with students and teachers. The analysis was performed based on the comparison of evaluation questionnaires, developed by the institution itself, filled out by students in relation to the courses. In addition, the individual responses to the questionnaires were not analyzed, but the average for the class. The areas of knowledge of the teachers were also not considered, nor the profiles of the students in the classes. Practical contributions – Based on the results, Educational Institutions can identify whether the use of web conferencing has an impact on the results of students' evaluations on the subject. In the present study, based on information from the analyzed Private Education Institution, it was identified that there was no significant impact. With this, Educational Institutions can take the case as an example, where it is clear that for there to be no impact, prior preparation is needed, with process adaptation, good technological structure, training of all involved, pedagogical adaptations focused on the format and especially the care in making clear to the student what the change is, so that he/she is prepared to learn after the digital transformation. Social contributions - By identifying the impact of the use of web conferencing in the assessments of subjects carried out by students, Educational Institutions can invest in seeking new pedagogical practices that are more adherent to the new model, they can offer more courses with different themes for different locations, since the classes can be formed by students from different locations. Additionally, study can help reinforce a new format of teaching.
