Community college students’ perspectives on online learning during COVID-19 and factors related to success

Abstract

This study's purpose was to research trends in community college students' perceptions of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and discover factors related their success, applying this knowledge to nursing education. Community college students (N=156) participated in the 34-question survey that asked questions related to perception of online learning, instructor involvement and characteristics of success. Thirty-seven percent of the sampling self-reported that they were nursing or allied health majors (N=51). A Bonferroni post hoc analysis showed strong differences between the students' ages and self-reported characteristics of success. A Pearson two-tailed correlation showed a correlation between instructor support and ease of transition to online learning (r=.312, p=>.000) as well as a correlation between instructors providing ways to effectively communicate, promoting a deeper connection during the online learning transition during the pandemic (r=.729, p=>.000). An ANOVA showed a strong correlation between students who had not taken online courses before the pandemic and attitudes about how much was learned compared to live classroom formats (F (1,145) =9.697, p=.002). There were no significant differences in nursing students' responses and other majors regarding the transition to online learning or personal characteristics indicative of online learning success (Nursing SD=.738; Non-nursing SD=.781). Nursing students reported similarly of the correlation between instructor involvement/communication, deadline flexibility, student effort, and online learning success (Nursing SD=.964; Non-nursing SD=.967). Previous research was reinforced but more studies should be done to identify ways educators can enhance online learning to address student concerns.

An action research on the application of online teaching in “Infection Control in Nursing Practice” course

“…A study conducted during the epidemic showed that online learning outcomes for community college working nursing and health students were strongly correlated with ages of students, faculty support, and effective communication styles. [27] Therefore, in addition to the prior planning of online teaching courses, teachers must be involved during its implementation process to understand the completion of learning activities, especially when the students are working students who may miss some learning activities due to their work.…”

Evaluating Learning Experience and Emotional Triggers of Virtual Learning Environments (Vles) Using Psychogalvanic Reflexes and Behavioural Analysis

“…Traditional classrooms were built with a factory-style instructional method in mind, which may have fitted the needs of the time. Therefore, they are not equipped to handle today's technological demands or to educate pupils with a variety of working methods and thinking processes [1]. Virtual learning environments (VLEs) or VR classrooms might help bridge this gap.…”
