• Abstract:

  The relationship between academic performance and online teaching during a pandemic period, between 2021 and 2022, was research carried out in the Administration course at a Brazilian public university, in the north of the country. The objective of this study was to understand and analyze the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on student performance and the challenges faced by teachers in using digital technologies in the face of social isolation and students' perception of academic performance in these teaching-learning conditions. The descriptive and quantitative methodology (structured questionnaires) was used. In the results, the majority of students presented a positive perception regarding academic performance and the online teaching-learning process, with a tendency to agree on three aspects: didactic reflections through digital technology, the university's policy on digital inclusion and training teachers for remote teaching; There was a situation of indecision, related to the issue of student stimulation and interest in synchronous and asynchronous activities on platforms that stimulate learning. It is concluded that online teaching in the UFT Administration course during the pandemic took effort and provided good academic performance with new experiences, seeking quality in teaching, learning and assessment. The restrictions of the World Health Organization, Ministry of Health and measures related to the pandemic, imposed by local university authorities, including home confinement, had an impact on emotional factors and the new technological environment, as well as on student performance.
