Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread shift to online education around the world and in Hungary, too. Educational institutions from kindergartens to universities were forced to adapt rapidly to this new situation, when the space of education moved from classrooms to online video meetings; the regular methods and tools needed to be changed or modified. Nonetheless, we should keep in mind that online education itself was an already existing concept before the pandemic as part of digitalization as a current societal megatrend, however it was not widely used in educational institutions across different programs. By 2021, there are university students who have mostly or exclusively participated in higher education online. Online classes could be a new normal situation to these students instead of the pre-pandemic personal activities in physical classrooms, leading to altering the norms of participation. In our research, we collected answers to open-ended sentences from such students. As we wish to understand how students perceive the differences between online and offline education, we investigated the perceived advantages and disadvantages of online-only education, how this influenced their social networks, study efficiency and their whole experience in university education.

仅限在线:基于虚拟大学学生体验的大流行后教育未来展望

2019冠状病毒病大流行导致世界各地和匈牙利普遍转向在线教育。从幼儿园到大学的教育机构被迫迅速适应这种新形势，教育空间从教室转移到在线视频会议;常规的方法和工具需要改变或修改。尽管如此，我们应该记住，在线教育本身在大流行之前就已经存在，作为数字化的一部分，作为当前社会大趋势，但是它并没有在不同的教育机构中广泛使用。到2021年，大部分或全部在线接受高等教育的大学生将会增加。对于这些学生来说，在线课程可能成为一种新的常态，而不是大流行前在教室里的个人活动，从而改变参与规范。在我们的研究中，我们收集了这些学生对开放式句子的回答。由于我们希望了解学生如何看待线上和线下教育之间的差异，我们调查了纯线上教育的优势和劣势，这如何影响他们的社交网络、学习效率和他们在大学教育中的整体体验。
