Summary: | The Pandemic period determined an abrupt transition of education systems,
including tertiary education, from the traditional "face-to-face" learning
environment to alternative ones in the online space, which had significant
consequences on the teachers' didactic roles and especially on the quality of student
learning, due to them being placed under the conditions of the absence of a
transitional period with a formative effect. The article aims to identify the students'
perceptions regarding the favorable elements of learning in the digital realm in
comparison to the "face-to-face" environment, having as a purpose the improvement
of the quality of university studies in the post-pandemic period. The empirical
research used in the study involved undergraduate students from the Faculty of
Sociology and Social Work (University of Bucharest), being based on the
comparative approach of learning analytics elements in order to highlight the
differentiated effects caused by online learning versus the face to face one.
Analyzing the changes felt by students in the post-pandemic period at the
university education level regarding the efficiency of the organizational efforts when
it comes to the learning process in the academic space, led to drawing interesting
conclusions concerning: the need to expand the usage of blended learning forms,
recommendations that can be useful for the teaching staff regarding the stimulation
of the students’ learning and the utility of involving a new type of specialist within
the university, the one of a learning process analyst that sustains direct forms of
mediate learning and learning support, offered especially for undergraduate
students. |
