Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the main constraints experienced in the online mode of education during this pandemic at higher education level in Pakistan. The COVID-19 pandemic credibly transformed the method of learning and teaching from face to face to online. In unexpected sudden septicity, universities in Pakistan have started online education without proper instructional provision and relevant experience. For this purpose, the data is collected from 750 students and teachers across all over the regions in Pakistan. The study has used partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that technological bottlenecks, institutional preparedness, and digital divide are significant challenges. The differences in perceptions of rural and urban areas are also very important referring to several policies implications, implementing information communication technology (ICT), friendly curriculums, enhancing online accessibility and infrastructure development. This study contributes to help universities for developing effective e-learning policies for students in the situation of COVID-19.

COVID-19危机中的在线教育

本研究的目的是检查在这次大流行期间巴基斯坦高等教育在线教育模式遇到的主要制约因素。2019冠状病毒病大流行确实将学习和教学方法从面对面转变为在线。巴基斯坦的大学在没有适当的教学规定和相关经验的情况下开始了在线教育。为此，数据是从巴基斯坦各地区的750名学生和教师中收集的。本研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)。研究结果表明，技术瓶颈、制度准备和数字鸿沟是重大挑战。对农村和城市地区的看法差异也非常重要，涉及到若干政策影响、实施信息通信技术(ICT)、友好的课程、加强在线可及性和基础设施发展。本研究有助于帮助大学在新冠肺炎疫情下制定有效的学生在线学习政策。

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. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
