| description | ABSTRACT. In the context in which the teaching, learning, and assessment
processes take place in the online environment, the question arises whether
the currently organized learning situations are as effective as the learning
situations carried out in the classroom, before the beginning of the pandemic.
One of the disadvantages of online learning is related to the teacher’s low
control over students’ activity. Factors such as initiative, creativity, efficient
time management, intrinsic motivation, responsibility, and intellectual curiosity
play an important role in students’ success in learning activities. Attendance
at courses should not be formal and superficial and should be a process that
involves the active and interactive participation of the students in the learning
process. Providing high-quality educational opportunities to all students is a
goal that is increasingly difficult to achieve in the context of the absence of
face-to-face interactions. Also, applying a curriculum focused on the needs of
the learner is becoming hard to achieve. Through this research, we aim to
investigate issues related to how online learning takes place and to establish
ways in which we can increase the efficiency of current teaching and learning
processes. The study revealed that in the opinion of most of the students, the
current epidemiological context has influenced in a negative way the quality
of teaching and the student-teacher educational relationship. |
