Abstract

Purpose

İn line with the objective of this special issue to unveil the challenges, opportunities, experiences, and perspectives of learners while they engage with technology during the global pandemic especially in a broader context, this study decides to examine their perceptions on the use of technology-based learning environments during the post covid semesters. This is on the premise that understanding the learners perceptions on using technology for learning after the pandemic unpacks numerous success and challenges which is essential in making propositions that would enhance learners' digital experience and while steering educational policy to the appropriate direction.

Design

To achieve this, a mixed-method research design was adopted for this study and 36 participants were purposively selected. Semi-structured interview questions and a 5 point Likert-type questionnaire were used to collect information from the participants on their perceptions on using technology-based instruction during the post-pandemic semesters.

Findings

Based on the data that was collected and analyzed, the study unveiled that though technology was perceived to enhance learning among the learners, it significantly creates boredom when used for educational purposes. Other novel findings of this study were instrumental in making valid empirical conclusions on this topic.

Originality

This study adds to the corpus of studies showing learners' experiences and perspectives on the use of technology for learning during the post-pandemic semester. The study is a starting point for more discussions on the need for developing learner-friendly technologies for better learning experiences among learners.

引导学习者在COVID-19后学期进行技术增强学习
Purposeİn根据本期特刊的目标,即在全球大流行期间,特别是在更广泛的背景下,揭示学习者在使用技术时面临的挑战、机遇、经验和观点,本研究决定调查他们对在covid - 19后学期使用基于技术的学习环境的看法。这样做的前提是,了解大流行后学习者对使用技术进行学习的看法,揭示了许多成功和挑战,这些成功和挑战对于提出能够增强学习者的数字体验并同时将教育政策导向适当方向的建议至关重要。为了实现这一点,本研究采用混合方法研究设计,有目的地选择了36名参与者。采用半结构化访谈问题和李克特式5点问卷收集参与者关于大流行后学期使用基于技术的教学的看法的信息。根据收集和分析的数据,这项研究揭示了尽管技术被认为可以提高学习者的学习能力,但当它被用于教育目的时,它会显著地产生无聊感。本研究的其他新发现有助于对这一主题做出有效的实证结论。独创性:本研究补充了一系列研究,展示了学习者在大流行后学期使用技术进行学习的经验和观点。这项研究为进一步讨论开发对学习者友好的技术以改善学习者的学习体验的必要性提供了起点。
