STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN A REMOTE AND EMERGENCY PHYSICS COURSE

ABSTRACT:

In this paper, we show evidences of student engagement in an introductory, remote and emergency Physics course. This experience occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a high school that provides professional education. We present the pedagogical challenges faced by Physics teachers and justify their choice to evaluate student engagement. Our data stemmed from a questionnaire answered by students after the end of the first module of the course. We identified three engagement dimensions: cognitive-behavioral, emotional and social. Our data show that there was engagement, predominantly, in the cognitive-behavioral and emotional dimensions.
