Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examined university students’ response to the sudden change from face-to-face to emergency remote education (ERE) and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their educational experience in spring 2020 through the lens of self-determination and adaptability. Results of a survey of 3,747 college students showed an overwhelming majority perceived a negative impact on their education, their grades and motivation to do academic work. The pandemic also created personal health and financial concerns that affected students and their studies. Statistically significant results found that experience – with fully online learning and as a college student – made a difference in how students responded to COVID-19 and the class format change. Chi-square analysis showed that students who had not taken a fully online class were more likely to have concerns related to COVID-19 and the class format change than those who had done so. In addition, the percentage of students expressing concerns about the effects of the pandemic on their education declined with each year in college, but high numbers of students were still affected
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
