Resumo:  The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education has also affected distance learning courses (DLC), either by the interruption of face-to-face activities or by the individual conditions of the students. The present study aimed to diagnose the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aspects related to health, academic performance and motivation of DLC/UFAM students. An online form (Google Forms) was used for the data collection on social, health and perception of the return to face-to-face activities of distance education students. Academic performance was assessed by the grades report of subjects taken in 2019/2 (before the pandemic) and 2020/1 (beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic). The majority of distance education students from UFAM were women, brown skin and aged between 25 to 40 years old. In June 2020, about 10% of participants tested positive for COVID-19 and most were concerned about the possibility of contamination by the disease when they answered that they would not participate in face-to-face activities during the pandemic. The average pass rate in courses in the semester taken during the pandemic it was 16% higher than in the previous semester. Students rated positively the suspension measures of face-to-face activities and motivation was the main element associated with permanence and good performance in the courses. The monitoring data served as support to the Distance Education Center – DEC/UFAM pedagogical team and course coordinators for the identification of students with difficulties, individual monitoring of cases and the realization of personalized solutions. Keywords: Monitoring COVID-19. Health indicators. Face-to-face meetings. Pandemic impacts. Academic achievement.

Academic achievement.    O impacto da pandemia da COVID-19 na educação também afetou os cursos na modalidade a distância (EaD), seja pela interrupção de atividades presenciais ou pelas condições individuais dos estudantes. O presente estudo objetivou diagnosticar o impacto da pandemia da COVID-19 nos aspectos relacionados a saúde, desempenho acadêmico e motivação dos estudantes da EaD/UFAM. Foi utilizado um formulário online (Google Forms) para a coleta de dados sobre os indicadores sociais, de saúde e de percepção do retorno às atividades presenciais dos estudantes EaD. O desempenho acadêmico foi avaliado pelo relatório de notas das disciplinas cursadas em 2019/2 (antes da pandemia)  e 2020/1 (início da pandemia da COVID-19). A maioria dos estudantes EaD da UFAM foi composta por mulheres, de cor parda e com idade entre 25 a 40 anos. Em junho de 2020, cerca de 10% dos participantes testaram positivo para a COVID-19 e a maioria se mostrou preocupada com a possibilidade de contaminação pela doença, ao responder que não participaria de atividades presenciais durante a pandemia. A taxa média de aprovação em disciplinas no semestre cursado durante a pandemia foi 16% superior à do semestre anterior. Os estudantes avaliaram positivamente as medidas de suspensão das atividades presenciais e a motivação foi o principal elemento associado a permanência e bom desempenho nas disciplinas. Os dados do monitoramento serviram de suporte à equipe pedagógica do Centro de Educação a Distância – CED/UFAM e coordenadores de curso para a identificação de estudantes com dificuldades, acompanhamento individual dos casos e a realização de soluções personalizadas.
