Abstract

One of the main changes that occurred after the coronavirus outbreak and that represents one of the main measures taken in order to limit the virus spread refers to the conversion of the educational activities conducted conventionally into activities implemented by means of online platforms. The transition was sudden, unexpected and it still can be indefinitely prolonged. The main approaches encountered in the context of online education are asynchronous and synchronous ones. Our paper contains the results of an interpretive analysis of the opinions expressed by a group of 37 undergraduate students on asynchronous and synchronous online educational activities. We considered their opinions relevant due to the fact that since they started their studies at the university in October 2020, they conducted exclusively online activities. We explored students’ preferences and limitations of the both approaches, but also their wishes for the next period. Students expressed their interest in keeping online asynchronous and synchronous activities for the future academic years, at least for part of their subjects.
新冠肺炎大流行期间在线教学的同步与异步:学生的视角
冠状病毒爆发后发生的主要变化之一,也是为限制病毒传播而采取的主要措施之一,是将传统的教育活动转变为通过在线平台实施的活动。这种转变是突然的,出乎意料的,而且它仍然可以无限期地延长。在线教育中遇到的主要方法有异步和同步两种。本文对37名本科生对异步和同步在线教育活动的看法进行了解释性分析。他们自2020年10月入学以来,只在网上进行活动,因此我们认为他们的意见是相关的。我们探讨了学生对这两种方法的偏好和局限性,以及他们对下一阶段的期望。学生们表示,他们有兴趣在未来的学年里保持在线异步和同步活动,至少是他们学科的一部分。
