Abstract

Como os estudantes veem o aprendizado on-line: um estudo empírico do aprendizado on-line durante a Pandemia da Covid-19

Durante o período de prevenção e controle da Covid-19, o aprendizado on-line tornou-se o principal caminho de aprendizado para os estudantes. Entretanto, traz algumas novas questões dignas de consideração, como, por exemplo, como foi o aprendizado on-line para os estudantes? Como foram os efeitos? E como os estudantes o perceberam? A fim de responder a essas perguntas e obter uma compreensão profunda para o aprendizado on-line, a pesquisa conduziu uma investigação entre várias escolas secundárias em Xuzhou, província de Jiangsu, China, com a distribuição de um questionário anônimo para os estudantes. Como principal grupo envolvido no aprendizado on-line, é fundamental explorar as respostas e promover o desenvolvimento do aprendizado on-line para investigar as opiniões e atitudes dos estudantes em relação à eficácia, instrução, comunicação, vantagens e desvantagens do aprendizado on-line. Os resultados indicam que mesmo os estudantes poderiam se adaptar rapidamente ao novo estilo de aprendizagem, ainda existem várias limitações notáveis, como a falta de supervisão, atmosfera coletiva de estudo e comunicação humana.

How do students view online learning: an empirical study of online learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT. During the Covid-19 prevention and control period, the online learning became the main learning pathway for students. Meanwhile, it brings some new questions worthy to considering, such as, how was the online learning for students? How were the effects? And how did students perceive it? In order to answer those questions and gain deep understanding for online learning, the research conducted an investigation among a number of high schools in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, with an anonymous questionnaire being distributed to the students. As the main group involved in online learning, it is critical in exploring the answers and promoting developments of online learning to investigate students’ views and attitudes towards the effectiveness, instruction, communication, advantages and disadvantages of online learning. The results indicate that even students could rapidly adapt to the new learning style, there are still several notable limitations, such as the lack of supervision, collective atmosphere of study, and humanity communication.

Keywords: COVID-19, online learning, secondary school students, students’ perceptions.

 

Cómo ven los estudiantes el aprendizaje en línea: un estudio empírico del aprendizaje en línea durante la pandemia de Covid-19

RESUMEN. Durante el periodo de prevención y control de Covid-19, el aprendizaje en línea se convirtió en la principal vía de aprendizaje para los estudiantes. Sin embargo, plantea algunas preguntas nuevas que merecen ser consideradas, como por ejemplo, ¿cómo fue el aprendizaje en línea para los estudiantes? ¿Cómo fueron los efectos? ¿Y cómo lo percibieron los estudiantes? Para responder a estas preguntas y obtener un conocimiento profundo del aprendizaje en línea, la investigación llevó a cabo una investigación entre varias escuelas secundarias de Xuzhou, provincia de Jiangsu, China, con la distribución de un cuestionario anónimo a los estudiantes. Como grupo principal involucrado en el aprendizaje en línea, es crucial explorar las respuestas y promover el desarrollo del aprendizaje en línea para investigar las opiniones y actitudes de los estudiantes hacia la eficacia, la instrucción, la comunicación, las ventajas y desventajas del aprendizaje en línea. Los resultados indican que, aunque los estudiantes pudieron adaptarse rápidamente al nuevo estilo de aprendizaje, siguen existiendo varias limitaciones notables, como la falta de supervisión, el ambiente de estudio colectivo y la comunicación humana.
