ADVANTAGES AND SHORTCOMINGS OF ONLINE TRAINING IN THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: The online school has shown more than ever that the paradigm of the educational act is, to a large extent, like that of a hundred years ago, that, unfortunately, many students do not want or can not get out of the scheme of teaching - memorization - rendering because it probably seems more convenient this way. Young people need behaviors (of the adults around them) to encourage them, to teach them responsibility, to help them overcome their fear of failure, to increase their self-esteem. It would be wrong to consider that the online school, imposed by the pandemic situation, was / is "a total failure". Perhaps it is, in fact, the first important step, in our country, towards a fundamental and necessary change in the way the school has been conceived so far. As electronic communication becomes more common and as students juggle study, work, and family life, many universities offer their students more flexible learning opportunities. Face-to-face courses are now being replaced by online ones. However, there is little research comparing students' experience and learning in these two ways. The purpose of the study presented in this article was to present the preferences of students, their academic performance in the context of the transition from the classic face-to-face teaching system to the online one. The study was conducted based on a social experiment at the Faculty of Theology - Social Work, University of Bucharest, on a sample of 20 students.
