Resumo: Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, several educational institutions have moved towards emergency remote teaching (ERT) models with the aim of enabling the continuity of classes in a non-in-person format. Given this scenario, facilitating strategies have helped teachers plan and carry out their activities. Theories such as Connectivism and Activity Theory not only showcase how it is, indeed, possible to learn effectively in a globalized and networked world, but also assist in understanding this mode of learning. This research paper seeks to demonstrate how an analysis combining both aforementioned theories can be performed in the context of a graduate-level virtual classroom, aiming to cooperate in better understanding learning in remote and networked contexts. We relied on an adapted version of Mwanza's (2001) methodology for Activity Theory, along with an analysis aided by questionnaires answered by participants in the course, in order to verify Activity Theory's level of compatibility with Connectivism's 8 properties of effective networks. Grounded on this pair of analysis, correlations were drawn between both theory and practice in order to identify interrelationships between the two. Our findings demonstrate multiple points of contact between Activity Theory and Connectivism, as well as the relevance of both to the larger context of ERT given the positive reports regarding their contribution to the development of the course.

En este escenario, las estrategias de facilitación han ayudado a los docentes en la planificación y ejecución de actividades. Teorías como Conectivista y Actividad demuestran que es posible aprender en un mundo globalizado y en red de manera eficiente, además de ayudar a comprender este tipo de aprendizaje. Este texto busca demostrar cómo se puede realizar un análisis que involucre ambas teorías en un curso de posgrado, con el fin de ayudar a comprender el aprendizaje en un mundo conectado y en clases remotas. Se optó por utilizar una adaptación de la metodología descrita por Mwanza (2001) para el examen vía Teoría de la Actividad, junto con un análisis asistido por un cuestionario respondido por los participantes del curso, con el fin de verificar el nivel de compatibilidad de la misma con el 8 propiedades conectivistas de red efectivas. A partir de este par de análisis, se establecieron correlaciones entre la teoría y la práctica para permitir la identificación de interrelaciones. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran varios puntos de contacto entre las teorías conectivista y de la actividad, así como la relevancia de ambas para el contexto existente, dados los reportes positivos sobre sus aportes al desarrollo de la disciplina.Em virtude da pandemia de COVID-19 diversas instituições adotaram o ensino remoto emergencial (ERE) com o objetivo de possibilitar a continuidade de suas aulas em formato não presencial.
