The COVID-19 pandemic affected every area of students' lives, especially their education. Limited research has explored students' experiences during the pandemic. This study documents how students across seven United States universities viewed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their educational experiences and how these students reacted to these impacts. We present qualitative data from an online survey conducted between March and May 2020 that resulted in 1267 respondents with relevant data. Conventional content analysis with an inductive approach was used to analyze open-ended responses to the question, "We are interested in the ways that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed how you feel and behave. What are the first three ways that come to mind?" Six categories emerged from the data: changes in instruction delivery mode, changes in schedule and everyday life, increased technology use, decreased academic opportunities and resources, negative reaction to the changes in higher education, and positive reactions to changes in higher education. Among our recommendations for practice are personalized approaches to material delivery and evaluation, synchronous classes and opportunities to connect with professors and students, and convenient support services.
新冠疫情影响了学生生活的方方面面,尤其是他们的教育。有限的研究探讨了疫情期间学生的经历。本研究记录了美国七所大学的学生如何看待新冠疫情对其教育经历的影响,以及这些学生对这些影响的反应。我们展示了2020年3月至5月期间进行的一项在线调查的定性数据,该调查共有1267名受访者提供了相关数据。采用归纳法的传统内容分析法,对“我们对冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行改变您的感受和行为的方式感兴趣。您首先想到的三种方式是什么?”这一问题的开放式回答进行了分析。数据中出现了六个类别:教学交付模式的变化、日程安排和日常生活的变化、技术使用增加、学术机会和资源减少、对高等教育变化的负面反应以及对高等教育变化的积极反应。我们对实践的建议包括个性化的材料交付和评估方法、同步课程以及与教授和学生建立联系的机会,以及便捷的支持服务。
