RESUMO

ABSTRACT Introduction: Traditional teaching, a lecturer-centered approach, has been the default methodology in medical schools. In the last decades, there has been a shift in health education towards methods that encourage the student's active participation. It has been proved that active methodologies increase engagement, and this was particularly necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic, when active methodologies were crucial to raise student participation in online classes. Objective: This study aimed to measure student satisfaction and participation in online classes utilizing active learning methods during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We gathered data from anonymous surveys completed by fourth-year medical students during 18 months of online classes of pediatrics at a public medical school in Brazil. Classes were taught using flipped classroom and case-based learning methodology. Results: One hundred and twenty-one students took part in this survey. Satisfaction level with case-based learning classes in the discipline was high (53% very satisfied; 39% satisfied; 6% neutral; 2% unsatisfied). Most of the students (70%) answered that, in general, they prefer CBL to expositive classes (16% prefer expositive classes; 14% are neutral). Reading compliance was good: 81% read 75-100% of the texts, and 19% read 50-74% of them. Conclusion: The implementation of the active learning curriculum for the discipline of pediatrics demonstrated to be successful considering the participation of the students and their satisfaction level.

RESUMO

RESUMO Introdução: No ano de 2019, com o surgimento pandemia pelo coronavírus, o mundo teve que se adaptar e utilizar medidas de distanciamento social visando ao controle da disseminação do vírus. Um dos setores que sofreram maior impacto com essas medidas foi a educação que precisou se adaptar ao ensino remoto emergencial. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender a percepção dos alunos de um curso de Medicina sobre o próprio aprendizado durante o período da pandemia pela Covid-19. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa. O referencial teórico foi o interacionismo simbólico. O estudo foi realizado em uma instituição de ensino superior privada do Distrito Federal. Participaram do estudo 14 alunos do terceiro ano da graduação em Medicina de turmas que tiveram a oportunidade de cursar períodos da graduação por meio do ensino remoto emergencial. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista gravada, na modalidade grupo focal, e analisados por meio da análise temática indutiva. Respeitaram-se todos os conceitos éticos da Resolução nº 466/2012 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Resultado: A análise dos discursos resultou em três categorias temáticas que exploram a percepção dos estudantes sobre o aprendizado. A primeira categoria, "Vivendo como se fosse em um balão de ensaio", aborda as mudanças vivenciadas pelos alunos no ingresso na faculdade, com sentimentos de medo, insegurança e falta de motivação devido ao estresse da pandemia. A segunda categoria, "Sentindo-se isolados e desolados", observou a percepção do adoecimento mental e a falta de apoio dos colegas, dos professores e da instituição, influenciando no desempenho e aprendizado dos alunos. A terceira categoria, "Lidando com erros e acertos", identificou a percepção dos resultados do aprendizado durante e após a pandemia, destacando o impacto no déficit de conhecimento e a necessidade de adaptação no retorno ao ensino presencial. Conclusão: O ensino remoto emergencial trouxe drásticas mudanças no ensino médico.

ABSTRACT Introduction: In 2019, with the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, the world had to adapt to using social distancing measures to control the spread of the virus. Social isolation measures were imposed and one of the sectors that suffered the greatest impact from these measures was the education sector, having to adapt to emergency remote education (ERE). Objectives: To understand the perception of students attending a medical course in relation to their own learning during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: This is a descriptive and exploratory research with a qualitative approach. The theoretical framework was Symbolic Interactionism. The study was carried out in a private higher education institution in the Federal District. The study included 14 students attending the third semester of medical undergraduate school from classes that had the opportunity to attend undergraduate periods through ERE. Data were collected through recorded interviews, in the Focus Group modality, and analyzed using Inductive Thematic Analysis. All ethical concepts of Resolution n. 466/2012 from the Health National Council were respected. Results and Discussion: The analysis of the discourses resulted in three thematic categories that explore the students' perception of learning. The first category, "Living as if in a test balloon", addresses the changes experienced by students when entering college, with feelings of fear, insecurity and lack of motivation due to the stress of the pandemic. The second category, "Feeling isolated and desolate", observed the perception of mental illness and the lack of support from classmates, teachers and the institution, influencing the students' performance and learning. The third category, "Dealing with mistakes and successes", identified the perception of learning outcomes during and after the pandemic, highlighting the impact on the knowledge deficit and the need to adapt when returning to face-to-face teaching. Final considerations: the Emergency Remote Education brought drastic changes in medical teaching. Understanding these changes and understanding the students' perception of learning in this period allows us to recognize the challenges faced, understand the need for adequate emotional support and think of effective learning strategies to overcome these and other adversities.
