Many fields have been affected by COVID-19, including education. The pandemic has prompted a change in education due to the requirement for social distancing. Campuses are now closed in many educational institutions across the globe, and teaching and learning are now conducted online. Internationalization has significantly slowed down. A mixed-method study was designed for this research, with the goal of ascertaining the impact of COVID-19 on Bangladeshi students enrolled in higher education during and after the pandemic. A questionnaire with 19 questions on a Google form was used to collect quantitative data using a 4-point Likert scale and was conducted on 100 students from different universities in the southern part of Bangladesh, such as Barisal University, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University. For collecting qualitative data, six quasi-interviews were conducted. A statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative results demonstrated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, pupils continuously received teaching and learning. The current study's findings revealed a significant positive correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and teaching, learning, and student achievement and a significant negative correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and student goals. The study also revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect on students enrolled in higher education programs at the universities. The qualitative judgment showed that students faced many problems when joining classes, such as poor Internet connection and insufficient network and technological facilities, etc. Some students live in rural areas and have slow Internet speeds, which sometimes prevented them from joining class. The findings of the study can help policy makers in higher education to review and adopt a new policy in higher education in Bangladesh. It can also help education instructors in universities to develop a proper study plan for their students.
许多领域都受到了 COVID-19 的影响，包括教育。由于需要保持社交距离，疫情促使教育发生了变化。目前，全球许多教育机构的校园都已关闭，教学现在改为在线进行。国际化进程明显放缓。本研究采用混合方法设计，旨在确定 COVID-19 对孟加拉国高等教育学生在疫情期间和之后的影响。采用 4 点李克特量表，通过谷歌表格上的 19 个问题的问卷收集定量数据，对孟加拉国南部不同大学的 100 名学生进行了调查，如巴里萨尔大学、巴图卡里亚科技大学和孟加拉国谢赫·穆吉布尔·拉赫曼科技大学。为了收集定性数据，进行了六次半结构式访谈。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）分析定量和定性数据。定量结果表明，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，学生一直在接受教学。本研究的结果表明，COVID-19 大流行与教学、学习和学生成绩呈显著正相关，与学生目标呈显著负相关。研究还表明，COVID-19 大流行对大学高等教育项目的学生产生了不利影响。定性判断显示，学生在上课过程中遇到了许多问题，例如互联网连接不良、网络和技术设施不足等。一些学生居住在农村地区，网络速度较慢，有时会妨碍他们上课。研究结果可以帮助孟加拉国高等教育政策制定者审查并采用高等教育新政策，也可以帮助大学教育工作者为学生制定适当的学习计划。
