Abstract

Purpose

In 2018, a group of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Switzerland started discussing the future of education. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many of their initial ideas and solutions were tested in the unpredictable, emergency online setting. This study aims to use student and faculty member perceptions to outline the future of higher education.

Design/methodology/approach

This research is based on eight surveys from students and faculty members at one Swiss HEI in business studies. While many previous studies focus on one group or one moment in time, this study examines the future of business education from both perspectives and traces the responses throughout the pandemic.

Findings

Teaching and learning strategies and perceptions evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, despite the potential, many HEIs simply reverted to normal instead of adapting to the “new normal”. Conversely, some HEIs have continued using the same exercises and tools that were used in the emergency remote pandemic-mode, without adapting or reflecting on the current learning environment. Based on the findings, both students and faculty members have increased their interest and proficiency in using digital tools although the students remained more open toward the opportunities of digital teaching and learning.

Originality/value

Based on the results, this study offers a model for the future of education that HEIs could implement when moving forward, whether on campus or online.

大流行后的商学院教学:数字化的未来
目的 2018 年,瑞士的一批高等教育机构(HEIs)开始讨论教育的未来。随着 COVID-19 大流行,他们的许多初步想法和解决方案在不可预测的紧急在线环境中得到了检验。本研究旨在利用学生和教职员工的看法来勾勒高等教育的未来。本研究基于对瑞士一所高等商科院校的学生和教职员工进行的八项调查。以往的许多研究都只关注一个群体或一个时间点,而本研究则从这两个角度审视了商科教育的未来,并追踪了整个大流行病期间的应对措施。然而,尽管存在潜力,但许多高等院校只是恢复正常,而不是适应 "新常态"。相反,一些高等院校继续使用在紧急远程大流行模式下使用的相同练习和工具,而没有对当前的学习环境进行调整或反思。根据研究结果,学生和教师都提高了使用数字工具的兴趣和熟练程度,但学生对数字教学和学习的机会仍持更开放的态度。
