Resumo

A COVID-19 desafiou a oferta de uma educação de qualidade, uma vez que alterou abruptamente o ensino presencial em todas as instituições educativas em todo o mundo. Os administradores universitários foram obrigados a conceber e adotar um esquema que se adaptasse ao ambiente de aprendizagem à distância, mas que salvaguardasse o ensino e a aprendizagem de qualidade. Esta pesquisa quantitativa-descritiva avalia a abordagem alternativa de carga horária acadêmica adotada por uma faculdade local na cidade de Batangas, durante a pandemia, quando as aulas presenciais foram suspensas. O esquema de carga de trabalho adotado visava assegurar a prestação eficaz e eficiente de ensino à distância, para que a aprendizagem de qualidade fosse sustentada. A avaliação centrou-se nos desafios e oportunidades do sistema adotado denominado “esquema de carga horária acadêmica de dois períodos”. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário com validação de conteúdo distribuído a duzentos e setenta e sete (277) entrevistados via formulário Google. Os entrevistados eram professores em tempo integral e estudantes da Faculdade de Educação. A recolha de dados ocorreu no primeiro trimestre de 2022, um ano e meio após a implementação do regime adotado. Verificou-se que professores e alunos partilhavam opiniões semelhantes, especialmente sobre as oportunidades que resultaram do programa, mas foram observadas opiniões ligeiramente contrastantes sobre os desafios. Isso, no entanto, não resultou em uma diferença significativa nas respostas. O estudo revelou que o esquema adoptado criou mais oportunidades do que desafios e, portanto, serviu o propósito de sustentar uma excelente prestação de instrução e a qualidade esperada foi alcançada
