RESUMO A pandemia da Covid-19 preconizou o ensino remoto (ER) como tendência no ensino de gestão. Esta pesquisa traz reflexões sobre quais seriam os elementos centrais para tornar o ER uma experiência de aprendizagem transformadora (AT) a partir do estudo de caso de uma disciplina de sustentabilidade, ancorada na AT e migrada para o ER durante a pandemia. Teoricamente, propomos um framework de referência articulando as teorias de AT, educação para sustentabilidade e ecossistema comunicativo (EC); e ampliamos o conceito de ER, cunhando o termo ensino remoto transformador (ERT). Na prática, a escuta dos estudantes aponta para três elementos para um ERT: explorar diferentes janelas de conhecimento; repensar o papel docente; e adaptar ferramentas a serviço do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Concluímos ressaltando ser preciso avanços nos estudos sobre ERT dada a tendência do ER e a necessidade de mais propostas educativas ancoradas em mudanças epistemológicas, paradigmáticas e transformadoras.

The Covid-19 pandemic has reinforced remote teaching (RT) as a trend in management education. This research reflects on the central elements that make RT a transformative learning (TL) experience, based on a case study of a TL-anchored sustainability discipline that was migrated to RL during the pandemic. Theoretically, we propose a framework or reference that combines TL, education for sustainability (EfS), and communicative ecosystem (CE) theories; we also extend the concept of RL, coining the term ‘transformative remote teaching’ (TRT). With regard to practice, students’ feedback points to three elements that are key for TRT: exploring different windows of knowledge; rethinking the teaching role; and adapting tools to support the teaching-learning process. We conclude by highlighting the need to approach education in ways anchored in epistemological, paradigmatic, and transformative changes.

The communicative ecosystems designate the relationship between subject and media and are the basis for theoretical developments in different authors of Educommunication. The concept goes further by embracing the change of sensitive perception in the contact between human and technology. This transformation of the sensorium is a reference for Communication and the Human Sciences and also establishes a connection with Neuroscience, whose understanding of human cognition refutes the separation between body and mind. On the contrary, it points out that thinking and perceptual and expressive abilities are the result of an integrated action of the body, not just the brain. Therefore, the change of sensorium associated with communicative ecosystems implies also dealing with the body, which represents new possibilities of reflection and practice for Educommunication in the era of digital technologies in network.
