REMOTE TEACHING DURING THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC: WHAT DO THE STUDENTS SAY?
REMOTE TEACHING DURING THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC: WHAT DO THE STUDENTS SAY?

Summary/Abstract: Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the faculties have been met with the task of modifying the traditional teaching environment to remote teaching. During two semesters of remote teaching, the students of the Department of Psychology from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of University of Mostar have been assessing their skills of using technologies, their motivation for class attendance and assignment completion, as well as their time management skills; they have evaluated the teaching process, reported on technical difficulties and assessed the general satisfaction with the remote teaching process. The results of this research show that students have shown a greater assessment of skills of using technology during the second semester of the remote teaching process, while no difference was established in the level of motivation for class attendance and assignment completion, and no difference was found in time management skills between the two semesters. As far as the satisfaction with remote teaching is concerned, the students marked the teaching process with an average grade of “very good” in both semesters, although the mark “excellent” was given more frequently in the second semester than expected per case. The average grade of satisfaction with the teaching process offers insight into the efficacy of adaption to remote teaching, and also opens up space for further improvement.
