摘要

导读:新冠肺炎疫情导致许多高等院校在没有充分准备的情况下,一夜之间从授课转向在线授课。研究表明,这种突然的变化以不同的方式影响了学生对在线学习的满意度。然而,对于这种变化对成人兼职学生的具体影响知之甚少,这是本研究的重点。方法:对非全日制成人本科生采用混合方法进行在线问卷调查。对封闭式问题进行了定量分析,以确定COVID-19期间在线学习的满意度及其相关因素。开放式问题进行了定性分析,以探索在此期间与在线学习相关的感知利益和挑战。结果:在线学习的满意度很高,尤其是在女性学生、没有小孩的学生、伴侣工作时间超过40小时的学生、能够在家以外的地方听课的学生以及学习非技术课程的学生中。在线学习有几个好处,包括节省了通勤时间,能够在舒适的家中学习,以及现在可以录制讲座。挑战包括技术、学生之间缺乏互动,以及兼职讲师难以应对突然转向在线学习的挑战。尽管如此,大多数学生表示,即使在安全返回课堂后,他们也希望在不同程度上继续在线课程。结论与启示:成人非全日制学生对网络课程的评价普遍较高。鉴于在线学习的好处和一些挑战,建议未来的学术课程采用混合方法,同时为那些觉得在家听课有挑战性的人提供更多支持。

Part-time adult students’ satisfaction with online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many tertiary institutions switching overnight from taught to online lectures without much preparation. Studies suggest that the sudden change has impacted on students’ satisfaction with online learning in differing ways. Yet, little is known about how this change impacted specifically on adult part-time students, which is the focus of this study. Methods: Part-time adult undergraduate students responded to a mixed methods online questionnaire. Close-ended questions were analysed quantitatively in order to determine levels of satisfaction with online learning during COVID-19 as well as its correlates. Open-ended questions were analysed qualitatively in order to explore the perceived benefits and challenges associated with online learning during this period. Results: Levels of satisfaction with online learning were found to be high, especially among students who were female, those who did not have young children, had partners who worked in excess of 40 hours, were able to follow lectures from locations other than the home, and those following non-technical courses. Several benefits of online learning were identified, including time saved on commuting, the ability to study from the comfort of home and the fact that lectures could now be recorded. Challenges included those related to technology, a lack of interaction amongst students and part-time lecturers who struggled with the sudden switch to online learning. Despite this, most students indicated they would like online lectures to continue to various degrees even after it was safe to return to class. Conclusion and implications: Online lectures were generally rated positively by adult part-time students. In view of the benefits and some of the challenges associated with online learning, it is recommended that future academic programmes adopt a blended approach whilst more support is provided to those who find it challenging to follow lectures from home.
