Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 caused an unprecedented pandemic for more than 2 years, affecting the lifestyle health, and education systems at the global level. During this long pandemic period, online learning was considered the only secure learning alternative. Multiple studies have demonstrated positive or negative perceptions related to online teaching.
Through this study, we identified the perceptions and different challenges that online learning brought to the education of the students of Alexander Xhuvani University, Elbasan, focusing on their achievements.
This cross-sectional study was conducted by Alexander Xhuvani University from March to May 2021. A questionnaire that assessed students' perceptions related to the effectiveness of distance learning was used for this study. This questionnaire had a Cronbach value of 0.760. Students from two faculties were welcomed to be part of this survey and to fill out the questionnaire on the Google platform. The data of the online questionnaire was made in Excel format and then analyzed using the statistical program SPSS version 20.0.
Overall, 350 students were included in the study about 268 (76.6%) belong to the female gender, and most students 239 (68.3%) belong to the age group of 18-20 years. It is worth mentioning that 271 (77.4%) had a negative perception related to e-learning. Approximately, 201 (57.4%) of students encountered difficulties with the internet, 49 (14%) of cases reported a lack of technological equipment, and 111 (31.7%) encountered distraction while using the phone to listen to the online lesson. Problems with visual images and audio were also reported. As advantages, we mention freer time and greater flexibility in the learning process. Changes in health and management of online learning were observed in 123 (35.1%) of students, where loss of time and lack of concentration to learn, sleep problems, stress, anxiety, and fear were encountered the most.
This is the first study in university education to assess students' perceptions and results achieved by online learning during our country's pandemic. Our study's findings show that 271 (77.4%) of participants have a negative perception of online learning. The most common challenges among students were Internet speed, a lack of technological equipment, and Internet disconnection. In terms of expectation fulfillment during online learning and assessment results, 245 (70%) of students' expectations were unsatisfied and unmet. These findings will address the gaps in the literature and may influence future online learning design in our country.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2引发了一场持续两年多的前所未有的大流行，影响了全球的生活方式、健康和教育系统。在这漫长的大流行期间，在线学习被认为是唯一安全的学习方式。多项研究表明了与在线教学相关的积极或消极看法。
通过本研究，我们确定了在线学习给爱尔巴桑亚历山大·朱瓦尼大学学生教育带来的看法和不同挑战，重点关注他们的学习成果。
这项横断面研究由亚历山大·朱瓦尼大学于2021年3月至5月进行。本研究使用了一份评估学生对远程学习有效性看法的问卷。该问卷的克朗巴哈系数值为0.760。欢迎两个学院的学生参与这项调查，并在谷歌平台上填写问卷。在线问卷的数据以Excel格式整理，然后使用统计软件SPSS 20.0进行分析。
总体而言，350名学生参与了该研究，其中约268名（76.6%）为女性，大多数学生239名（68.3%）属于18至20岁年龄组。值得一提的是，271名（77.4%）学生对电子学习有负面看法。大约201名（57.4%）学生遇到网络问题，49例（14%）报告缺乏技术设备，111名（31.7%）学生在使用手机收听在线课程时受到干扰。还报告了视觉图像和音频方面的问题。作为优点，我们提到学习过程中有更自由的时间和更大的灵活性。123名（35.1%）学生出现了健康变化和在线学习管理问题，其中时间浪费、学习注意力不集中、睡眠问题、压力、焦虑和恐惧最为常见。
这是大学教育中第一项评估我国大流行期间在线学习学生看法和学习成果的研究。我们研究的结果表明，271名（77.4%）参与者对在线学习有负面看法。学生中最常见的挑战是网速、缺乏技术设备和网络中断。在在线学习期间的期望达成和评估结果方面，245名（70%）学生的期望未得到满足。这些发现将填补文献中的空白，并可能影响我国未来的在线学习设计。
