Studenci wielkopolskich uczelni publicznych i niepublicznych wobec wyzwań kształcenia zdalnego podczas pandemii COVID-19
Students of public and private universities in Wielkopolska region (Poland) facing the challenges of remote education during the COVID-19 pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the presented study is to analyse the diversity of social attitudes of students during the pandemic towards changes in the functioning of universities and teaching methods. In mid-March 2020, after the suspension of classes at universities, the academic community faced the dilemma of choosing new options for continuing education and choosing the most appropriate forms. Despite the availability of e-learning platforms by universities, it was possible to observe a varied degree of their use, both by students and academic teachers. In the case of students, a large part quite quickly accepted new forms of remote teaching, but also some of them, for various reasons, did not undertake any activity in this area. The main problems that emerged were related to the technical and organisational possibilities of using the new tools for continuing education. Due to the new situation, it becomes important from the point of view of the basic goals of higher education to recognise the diversity of students’ attitudes towards new study conditions, in particular: determining the scope of students’ knowledge about new didactic tools, establishing basic barriers preventing students from taking up classes in new forms of e-learning, learning about the students’ assessment of the offered and used forms of distance learning, learning about the students’ assessment of the organisation and ways of implementing remote classes. The study attempts to answer the research questions based on the survey conducted in the first quarter of 2021, on a sample of over 3,000 students from universities located in the Wielkopolska region in Poland.
