Abstract

This research paper addresses aspects relating to the implications of the teaching and learning model adopted and applied during the Covid-19 period for teaching activity in Higher Education: analysis of the experiences of ISPB and ISPM. The same aims to analyze the implications of the teaching and learning model applied during the pandemic, and the consequences that resulted from it. To achieve the recommended objective, the bibliographic research method was adopted, under the auspices of the quantitative approach. The questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. The study brings to light the results that show that students expressed a greater level of dissatisfaction with the application of remote education during the pandemic period. Furthermore, the online solutions applied during this period were not significantly productive. A good number of them did not participate in online classes due to lack of financial resources, digital resources and lack of motivation. Furthermore, It is clear that, in general, the level of interaction and collaboration in all resorts was a little weak. However, despite all the constraints, the study reveals that some of those who participated in online study, that is, in remote education, were able to develop some collaborative skills, and that online classes contributed to the improvement of meaningful learning.
