Abstract

The year 2020 was a horrible shock for both educators and students worldwide because of the COVID-19 disease. The whole educational process had to undergo cardinal changes in that it was forced to transition from face-to-face to online mode. Distance learning (DL) became the new reality in no time. This unusual situation prompted us to conduct research on what challenges it meant for tutors to cope with the new requirements. The main goal of our case study was to get insights into the altered daily routines of tutors and understand how the system functioned. Another objective of our survey was to provide a brief synthesis of distance learning, based on the academic literature. We have applied the qualitative research design, using a semi-structured interview as a research instrument for collecting data from the respondents. The research sample consisted of thirty-four college tutors teaching language and literature (English, German, Ukrainian, and Hungarian). The participants were requested to reply to eleven questions either online or face-to-face. The results proved how unexpected and difficult it was to move from the classroom to distance education. They emphasized how crucial digital literacy is for both instructors and students. One of the essential implications is that teachers must develop their digital skills in every possible way. The next stage of our research will be to investigate what impact DL has on teachers' and students' physical and psychological well-being.
作为高等教育新现实的远程学习:个案研究
由于COVID-19疾病,2020年对全世界的教育工作者和学生来说都是一个可怕的打击。整个教育过程必须经历根本性的变化,因为它被迫从面对面的模式过渡到在线模式。远程学习(DL)很快成为新的现实。这种不寻常的情况促使我们对教师应对新要求意味着什么挑战进行研究。我们案例研究的主要目标是深入了解导师日常生活的变化,并了解该系统是如何运作的。我们调查的另一个目的是在学术文献的基础上对远程学习进行简要的综合。我们应用了定性研究设计,使用半结构化访谈作为从受访者收集数据的研究工具。研究样本包括34位教授语言文学(英语、德语、乌克兰语和匈牙利语)的大学教师。参与者被要求在线或面对面回答11个问题。结果证明,从课堂教育转向远程教育是多么出乎意料和困难。他们强调了数字素养对教师和学生的重要性。其中一个重要的含义是,教师必须以各种可能的方式发展他们的数字技能。我们下一阶段的研究将是调查深度学习对教师和学生的身心健康有什么影响。
