STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCES ON DISTANCE LEARNING DURING THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we study at all levels of education. The students have had to embrace distance learning methods not by choice but as a necessity for their studies and this comes with its own challenges. In this paper, we observe students' perceptions based on a survey conducted on 133 students in late 2021. The results show that students' perceptions of online learning during the pandemic are mixed, and while others prefer working online, some are having serious difficulties. The detailed results are presented in the paper along with our interpretation and discussion about the further implications."
