Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities had to switch to online teaching as quickly as possible. Part-time students who work in the healthcare sector have to manage the balancing act between an invariably online education and a mandatory physical attendance in a profession that maintains the system.
The aim of the study was to explore the challenges faced by part-time students working in the healthcare sector, to identify the need for change and to derive recommendations for action for the university.
The data were collected using an open response online questionnaire. The obtained data were evaluated according to the qualitative content analysis of Mayring.
Probably the greatest challenges that part-time students have to deal with, are the self-organized learning or the (on time) accomplishment of work assignments, which are often perceived as too extensive, and the independent development of teaching content. Furthermore, part-time students reported about the difficultness to reconcile e‑learning and work and/or family.
These perceived challenges are not new but since additional family commitments and uncertainty of daily work routine are added, these challenges are gaining in importance during COVID-19. Therefore, learning environments, which are currently offered to part-time students, must be understood as caring spaces. In addition to new didactic concepts, universities should invest in the promotion of students' personal and social competencies.
由于新冠疫情,大学不得不尽快转向在线教学。在医疗保健部门工作的兼职学生必须在始终在线的教育与该行业要求的现场出勤之间找到平衡。
本研究的目的是探讨在医疗保健部门工作的兼职学生所面临的挑战,确定变革的必要性,并为大学提出行动建议。
通过开放式在线问卷收集数据。根据迈林的定性内容分析法对所获数据进行评估。
兼职学生可能面临的最大挑战是自主学习或(按时)完成作业,作业往往被认为量太大,以及自主开发教学内容。此外,兼职学生表示难以兼顾电子学习与工作和/或家庭。
这些所感受到的挑战并非新鲜事,但由于新增了家庭负担和日常工作的不确定性,在新冠疫情期间这些挑战变得更加重要。因此,当前为兼职学生提供的学习环境必须被视为关怀空间。除了新的教学理念外,大学还应投资提升学生的个人和社交能力。
