The Influence of the COVID 19 to the Future of Learning

Abstract

In the years of COVID 19 pandemic we have changed the education. Though we wanted to change only the way we teach, study and learn we have changed ourselves. May studies have been done about the drawbacks of the distance education, videoconferencing and social interaction. Much less were focused to the benefits of the changed learning environment. In the short time we have learnt how to use tools for remote work. We have become masters of videoconferencing and in the education, teachers produce a lot of learning materials. But what good comes to the students. Do they miss something from COVID 19 pandemic? The research of the educational study programs’ students has shown differences between students’ groups. Students from the first year of study much more like to communicate with the teachers in person than the those from later years. Though the communication method seems to be different between students of Faculty of Education and Faculty of Arts, statistical analysis has not confirm this. Interestingly we have discovered that students like e-mail communication the most but they are really patient for the reply (up to 4 days). The very good finding is that students do not expect technically related problems in the case of another lockdown.
