Impact of Online Teaching on Motivation to Learn

Abstract

The Covid 19 pandemic has changed all spheres of both private and public life. It has not spared education either. Varna Medical University quickly reorganised and mobilised new technological and human resources. The present survey examines how online teaching during pandemic affects students’ motivation to study and learn. The theoretical formulation is based on the idea of the students’ social learning and typologization, depending on their expectations of the training process. An inquiry card was set up, and a survey of forty nurse and midwifery students at the Veliko Tarnovo Subsidiary of Varna Medical University was conducted. The snapshot reveals that online training is a challenge to the students and requires a new attitude and skills to structure time.
