The data were collected through a semi-structured online questionnaire administered to 94 full-time and part-time faculty members.

A comparison of business student perceptions in Kazakhstan and the United States regarding ways to enhance the online learning process

For instance, Avolio et al (2022) report on faculty members' opinions regarding how to best implement online learning in Peru (Avolio et al, 2022), stress during the initial lock-down in the United Arab Emirates (Moussa and Ali, 2022), study of and forecasts that virtual classrooms will become the common educational modality in India (Rashid andYadav, 2020), andFlores et al's (2022) study of Portuguese student adaptation to online learning.

Rapper and Brown (2020) note that some students may be better skilled or have better access to technology, when it comes to accessing academic services.…”
