Challenges of remote teaching of basic engineering sciences in a contingency situation. Form. Univ. [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.5, pp.61-74.

The main goal of this study is to improve remote teaching’s quality of learning in contingency situations by assessing engineering student perceptions of quality of learning at the Autonomous University of Baja California (Mexico). The factors considered include connectivity, homework load, time management, professor preparation, evaluation, and laboratory activities. Assessments are conducted in courses with a laboratory component during two consecutive terms. Gathered data is analyzed at the end of each term by performing an analysis of variance and by correlating data from both closed questions and Likert scale items. The results show: challenges in connectivity, a perception of high workloads, poor attention, insufficient synchronous sessions, inadequate pedagogical material, feedback deficiencies, and lack of activities to replace on-site laboratory practices. In conclusion, these results underscore the need of applying standardized teaching strategies, improving professor training, implementing adequate evaluation strategies, and developing home- and simulator-based experimental activities.
