Abstract(s)
The COVID-19 pandemic generated a strong impact on Higher Education. In Portugal, the closure of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), in March 2020, led to a transformation of Traditional Education into Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). This paper analyzes students’ perceptions concerning such a change in teaching and assessment methodologies and practices, considering the different degrees of education and the different knowledge domains. The research was developed at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto. The data were collected through an online questionnaire, during the period of June and July 2020. The sample obtained was of 1182 students. Results show relevant differences in the students’ satisfaction levels, considering the degree level and the knowledge domain. The most satisfied with the functioning of the classes and the assessment during ERT period were master's degree students and students from the areas of education, accounting and business, and hospitality and tourism, in contrast with the undergraduate students and students from the areas of media arts and design, engineering and technology, and management who showed lower levels of satisfaction. This research highlights the need for the development of policies and practices that promote the creation of smart learning environments for a better articulation between face-to-face and online teaching.
