Distance learning as a component of modern education in the light of students’ opinions

Summary/Abstract: In an era of dynamic social and technological change, higher education institutions around the world are facing the challenge of adapting teaching models to meet students’ needs while maintaining a high level of education. Modern education, referred to as Education 4.0, relies largely on distance learning and offers many opportunities, but also presents students with specific demands. Understanding the students’ perspective can contribute to further optimisation of teaching processes at the university level.The study discussed in the article was carried out at a Polish university in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when conducting face-to-face classes was impossible. Its aim was to understand students’ attitudes towards distance learning and to check their impact on the assessment of the effectiveness of distance education. The study adopted the CAWI technique implemented through a survey questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 383 persons. Kendall’s tau coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the level of respondents’ satisfaction with distance learning and their assessment of the effectiveness of remote education. The study revealed that respondents whose attitude towards remote teaching was positive found this kind of teaching effective. Respondents also expressed a desire to be able to choose from three modes of learning: in-class, remote, and hybrid. The results of the study demonstrate that students are open to modern education where digital competences play an important role. They also indicate students’ growing expectations regarding the possibility of adapting teaching methods to their needs.
