Toward the Development of writing conference papers skills in Engineering students-COVID 19 implementation experience

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 has caused global changes in the way of teaching and learning. The new forms of teaching how to write papers to Engineering students that began in 2020 may become a new pedagogical alternative. The literature had already shown the advantages of using technology for teaching, highlighting the possibilities of collaboration, and to give students a leading role in the development of their learning process. The article shows the experience of teaching writing conference papers to Engineering students under a virtual environment. The study was experimental with 54 students in two groups Control Group and Experimental Group. The students were evaluated through an instrument that considered three dimensions planning, writing and reviewing. Results demonstrated that it is possible to develop technical writing skills in Engineering students in a virtual environment. © 2022 IEEE.
