Authors: Sonia Pais - Polytechnic of Leiria (Portugal) [presenting]
Abstract: After the lockdown imposed by the Covid19 pandemic, millions of students and teachers faced new challenges as they progressively returned to their face-to-face school activities. Despite all the constraints caused by the pandemic, this is an opportunity to move towards an innovative and transformative educational model for the future, which must avoid sending us back to the negative aspects of past educational practices. During the lockdown, with emergency remote teaching (ERT) being implemented, the teacher involved in this study faced the need to adapt activities and didactic materials to be used exclusively at distance with the aid of technology. This included the promotion of asynchronous tasks/activities, which could be developed autonomously by students. Technologies have multiple benefits in the field of Education, such as improving student performance. Information and Communication Technologies are tools that may be used to innovate the way statistics is taught, and they may facilitate students' learning. Being aware of these benefits, part of the activities and teaching materials prepared for the ERT, in the face-to-face teaching of her classes after lockdown, more specifically with the presentation of videos for content development, are adapted and introduced. The participants in the study are undergraduate students from a Portuguese higher education institution enrolled in the curricular unit of Statistical Analysis.
