Educational practice during remote teaching in professional and technological education at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Baiano

This research had as its object of study the educational practice of teachers at the Instituto Federal de Educacao, Ciencia e Tecnologia Baiano, during remote teaching, with a view to raising elements that help the exercise of the teaching profession, starting from the perspective that the Covid-19 pandemic required a review of teaching practices. In this sense, a descriptive research was carried out to gather information and elements that could contribute to the evaluation of teaching practices, especially those focused on the use of active methodologies. The research identified that the challenges of teaching were even more accentuated in the pandemic period, requiring numerous adaptations from teachers for the implementation of non-face-to-face pedagogical activities. Regarding the strategies used during remote classes, it was observed that teachers made use of active learning methodologies and information technologies in their practices, despite the challenges pointed out with regard to efficient access to the internet and equipment and the difficulties of using digital educational technologies. From the obtained results, the research demonstrated that the active methodologies can collaborate in the improvement of the teaching practice in the professional and technological education, since they contribute to the teaching and learning process, through the understanding of the student as the protagonist of the referred process, engaging and motivating them to go in search of knowledge in order to better understand the subjects to be addressed in the different disciplines, in a way closer to their reality and to conduct broader discussions, either through the development of collaborative projects between teachers and their respective disciplines, the use of games and the carrying out of activities that allow, for example, the use of logical reasoning or analytical skills and the development of practice simulations, based on the objectives of the courses.
