SERAFIM, MILENA PAVAN et al. DIFFICULTIES MET BY UNICAMP STUDENTS IN THE TRANSITION TO REMOTE LEARNING. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.34, e09043.  Epub Dec 29, 2023. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v34.9043_port.

This paper conducts an exploratory analysis of data collected from a survey with Brazilian students at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) about the difficulties observed in the transition from in-person to remote learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We conducted bibliographic research and applied exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to responses from 1,776 students. Our goal was to obtain a model that explains most of the variance in the data. Upon analyzing the EFA results, two groups of difficulties stood out: those related to course planning and those related to access and the provision of adequate infrastructure for remote learning. These findings can contribute to higher education institutions’ institutional plans. Importantly, we are not inferring a prevalence of difficulties, but rather emphasizing that university stakeholders should actively analyze and explore these challenges.
