Avaliação de vídeos do youtube como ferramenta auxiliar ao ensino remoto e presencial

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic began in 2020 and brought many changes on the world stage and in teaching, it generated major adaptations, as one of the measures to combat the virus was social distancing. Given the need for continuity in the educational process of children and young people, the education departments recommended the use of audiovisual technologies for virtual contact with students and proposed applying videos as complementary material to the subjects covered in the teaching plan. Several obstacles hampered the functionality and efficiency of remote teaching in the country, however, in teaching, positive fruits were harvested. Given the above, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the usability of educational videos, during the period of remote and in-person teaching. The data used was collected on the channel “Ao Pibid e Além” of the institutional scholarship program for teaching initiation in the degree course in biological sciences at IFSMG-Campus Inconfidentes, published on the YouTube platform. The videos were separated into two categories, shorter than three minutes and longer than three minutes and 1 second. The normality of the data was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test and the means tested using the t test, both using the Rstudio software, at a significance level of p<0.05. The videos had the highest number of views during the pandemic period and the most watched videos were those lasting more than three minutes. It is concluded that the topic covered in the videos influences the number of views.
