Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of changes in the learning environment due to the COVID-19 restrictions at the university level in Singapore. Data is based on the grades and student evaluations of 282 students from two cohorts who in 2020 experienced in-class and online teaching consecutively, and compares academic performance in both learning environments considering the existing relationship between student evaluations and teacher-student interaction. Results show differences in academic performance on the final exam between the two modes, however, these differences are not related to the student evaluation of the lecturer nor teacher-student interaction as these remained unalterable despite the transition from in-class to online learning. The conclusion is that it is possible to maintain an optimum quality of education without alterations in student evaluations or in teacher-student interaction in both online and in-class contexts. However, it is necessary to design a course appropriate assessment strategy consistent with the specific learning environment.

COVID-19大流行导致的学习环境突然和不可预见的变化对学术的影响

本研究评估了新加坡大学因COVID-19限制而导致的学习环境变化的影响。数据基于来自两个队列的282名学生的成绩和学生评价，这些学生在2020年连续经历了课堂和在线教学，并考虑到学生评价与师生互动之间存在的关系，比较了两种学习环境下的学习成绩。结果显示两种模式在期末考试中的学术表现存在差异，然而，这些差异与学生对讲师的评价无关，也与师生互动无关，因为尽管从课堂学习过渡到在线学习，这些差异仍然没有改变。结论是，在不改变学生评价或在线和课堂上师生互动的情况下，保持最佳教育质量是可能的。然而，有必要根据具体的学习环境设计适合课程的评估策略。
