CRESTANI, Carlos Eduardo  and  MACHADO, Márcio Bender. Project-based learning in professional and technological education as a proposal to forced remote learning. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e280048.  Epub May 23, 2023. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782023280048.

The pandemic that started in 2020 was challenging in many areas, including education, with a mandatory migration to remote learning. This work presents the migration of disciplines from the traditional face-to-face methodology to project-based learning in forced remote learning. The contents were transformed into projects, developed in oriented groups, with detailed feedback, freedom of organization and presentation, and group and individual assessment. The general perception was of initial difficulties, of adaptation, but of skills development such as groupwork, presentation of ideas, decision making, planning, organization, and socialization, with the development of critical and creative thinking and commitment to learning itself since the selection of the level and of the amount of information to explore. The development of skills and maturity to deal with projects and problems shows a way forward in the use of active methodologies.

Keywords : PBL; professional and technological education; high school; active methodologies; pandemic.
