PL

Pandemia Covid-19 spowodowała konieczność niejako natychmiastowego przestawienia edukacji z formy tradycyjnej na formę zdalną, co wiązało się z problemami różnej natury. Badania porównawcze prowadzone wśród studentów i nauczycieli akademickich pokazują złożoność sytuacji i niejednoznaczność ocen dotyczących skuteczności zastosowanych rozwiązań. W artykule zaprezentowano analizę wyników badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych przy wykorzystaniu autorskiego kwestionariusza w IV kwartale 2021 r. na grupie studentów z uniwersytetów z Polski, Węgier i Grecji oraz grupie słuchaczy Centrum Kształcenia Dorosłych z Finlandii (N = 769). Prezentowany obszar badań dotyczy doświadczeń studentów z okresu zdalnego nauczania w pierwszym etapie pandemii Covid-19. Do analizy opinii studentów zastosowano statystyki opisowe oraz tests of the equality of means w celu sprawdzenia różnic w ocenach ze względu na wybrane cechy metryczkowe respondentów. Szukano ewentualnego zróżnicowania opinii ze względu na takie cechy respondentów, jak płeć czy kraj pobierania nauki. Wyniki badań mogą być wykorzystane do wypracowania rozwiązań służących poprawie jakości kształcenia zdalnego.

The Covid-19 pandemic forced an immediate switch from the traditional form of education to a remote one, which caused various problems. Comparative studies conducted among students and academic teachers have shown the complexity of the situation and the ambiguity of assessments concerning the efectiveness of the solutions applied. This article presents an analysis of the results of a survey carried out in Q4 of 2021, using own questionnaire, among students from universities in Poland, Hungary and Greece, and a group of attendees of the Adult Education Centre in Finland (N = 769). The presented area of research embraces students' experiences of distance learning during the first stage of the Covid-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics and tests of the equality of means were used to analyse the students' opinions in order to check for diferences in assessments based on the selected metric characteristics of the respondents. Possible diferentiation of opinions due to respondent characteristics such as gender or country of study was also searched for. The study results can be used to develop solutions which can be used to improve the quality of distance learning.
