Abstract

Since the pandemic outbreak, governments have introduced measures to decrease the spread of COVID-19. One of the measures widely implemented has been linked to social distancing. As a result of these measures, many activities had to be canceled or moved to a remote environment. This has also affected the education sector, where educators and students had to quickly adapt to online teaching and learning. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, in many schools, distance learning was very limited, or it did not exist at all. Even though it was mainly elementary and secondary schools that were adversely affected, many higher education institutions were also taken by surprise by the need to switch abruptly from onsite to online mode. The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains to be studied and assessed in depth, but after two years since the first wave of the pandemic, lessons from the transition to online learning can be drawn. In this article, we analyze the impact of student specific characteristics and the perceived efficiency of online education on students’ knowledge acquired compared to their pre-pandemic performance. We find that perceived effectiveness of online education, size of the city of residence, and whether a student is a foreign or domestic student have a positive and statistically significant impact on students’ performance, compared to their pre-pandemic results.
COVID-19大流行对斯洛伐克高等教育学生的长期影响
自大流行爆发以来,各国政府已采取措施减少COVID-19的传播。广泛实施的措施之一与保持社交距离有关。由于这些措施,许多活动不得不取消或转移到远程环境。这也影响了教育部门,教育工作者和学生必须迅速适应在线教学。在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前,在许多学校,远程教育非常有限,或者根本不存在。尽管受到不利影响的主要是中小学,但许多高等教育机构也对突然从现场模式转向在线模式的需求感到惊讶。COVID-19大流行的长期影响仍有待深入研究和评估,但在第一波大流行爆发两年后,我们可以从向在线学习的过渡中吸取教训。在本文中,我们分析了学生的特定特征和在线教育的感知效率对学生获得的知识的影响,并与他们在大流行前的表现进行了比较。我们发现,与疫情前的结果相比,在线教育的感知有效性、居住城市的规模以及学生是外国学生还是国内学生,对学生的表现都有积极的、统计上显著的影响。
