DEGREE IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY DURING REMOTE TEACHING: A REPORT

Abstract

This article is an experience report about joining the last class of the first semester of the Degree in Computer Science at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Francisco Beltrão campus (UTFPR-FB). The objective of this report is to communicate the experience of entering the Degree in Computer Science, in the midst of the closing of the course on campus. This report took place through the experience with academic language in the discipline of Linguistic Communication, at a time of resumption of the face-to-face offer of undergraduate courses at UTFPR-FB, after an improvement in the cases in the pandemic that has been established in the world since the year of 2020. For the methodology, we gathered the experiences during the pandemic time and transition from the remote to the face-to-face period, having as mediation the guidance of the discipline, readings of scientific works and discussions. As a result, we found that of the ten colleagues who enrolled in the discipline, only four completed the activities and one had his credits consigned, in this perspective, resuming academic life in person in the midst of the closing of an undergraduate course, in a group that is with a small number, it becomes a challenge, which demands an innovative look at the situation. In this way, we realized that starting a career via remote teaching was, in general, a stimulus to creativity and persistence to achieve goals and produce knowledge, however also experiencing this process combined with the closing of the course we chose as professional training can be more challenging than we had imagined.
