Changes in Higher Education from the Pandemic Scenario: A Bibliographical Review

ABSTRACT

During 2020, the governments determined the elimination of face-to-face activities in schools and universities to avoid crowds in the classrooms due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This article aims to understand the impacts of remote and hybrid teaching in Higher Education during the Covid 19 pandemic, which started at the end of 2019 all over the world and brought significant changes in various sectors, including education. We have three specific, very clear and defined objectives, namely (i) verify the challenges faced by teachers and students in HEIs;(ii) highlight pedagogical practices during distance learning and hybrid teaching and (iii) highlight what actions were taken in Higher Education during and after the pandemic. The methodology adopted in this work is a systematic bibliographical research. The results of the investigation indicate that the changes in Higher Education are here to stay, the hybrid model that includes face-to-face and distance education is already a reality for Higher Education institutions and also its main challenge.
