O uso do google workspace em uma Instituição de Ensino da área da saúde

Abstract

In a global landscape reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, education encountered unparalleled challenges, prompting institutions to swiftly transition to remote and hybrid teaching modalities. This research, conducted at FAMERP, a distinguished higher education institution in the health domain, aimed to scrutinize the adoption and efficacy of educational support technologies, emphasizing the Google for Education suite. Quantitative and exploratory data analysis unveiled invaluable insights regarding the behavior of educators and learners towards these tools. Google Drive surfaced as a pivotal platform for academic collaboration, with over half of the documents being shared, mirroring a culture of cooperation and knowledge exchange. Moreover, the prevalence of "Google Documents" and PDFs signified a leaning towards native tools and versatile formats. Google Meet data suggested that web-based meetings tend to be lengthier, potentially indicating a more stable experience or a preference for sturdier devices for extended interactions. This observation is substantiated by the dominance of computer accesses in other tools, such as Google Calendar and Google Classroom. Google Calendar emerged as an indispensable tool for academic organization, with usage peaks aligning with significant academic events. Conversely, Google Classroom, vital for hybrid teaching, exhibited high adoption but also unveiled challenges like delayed task submissions. The study also underscored the significance of technological integration in the curriculum, with FAMERP mirroring contemporary educational trends. However, despite the widespread adoption and perceived value of these tools, challenges remain, highlighting the need for ongoing training, support, and adaptation to technological shifts. In conclusion, while the uptake of educational technologies at FAMERP is evident and resonates with current literature, there's room for enhancement. This research acts as a xvii foundation for institutions aiming to comprehend and augment their technological integration, ensuring quality education in times of flux.
