“…These challenges can result in poor academic performance and strained relationships. Therefore, educational institutions should strive to provide students with adequate materials for teaching and learning over the Internet [4,[89][90][91]. The COVID-19 pandemic and teaching, learning, and student achievement have been found to have a positive significant correlation, but the COVID-19 pandemic and student goals have been found to have a negative significant correlation according to the results.…”

Many fields have been affected by COVID-19, including education. The pandemic has prompted a change in education due to the requirement for social distancing. Campuses are now closed in many educational institutions across the globe, and teaching and learning are now conducted online. Internationalization has significantly slowed down. A mixed-method study was designed for this research, with the goal of ascertaining the impact of COVID-19 on Bangladeshi students enrolled in higher education during and after the pandemic. A questionnaire with 19 questions on a Google form was used to collect quantitative data using a 4-point Likert scale and was conducted on 100 students from different universities in the southern part of Bangladesh, such as Barisal University, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University. For collecting qualitative data, six quasi-interviews were conducted. A statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative results demonstrated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, pupils continuously received teaching and learning. The current study’s findings revealed a significant positive correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and teaching, learning, and student achievement and a significant negative correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and student goals. The study also revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect on students enrolled in higher education programs at the universities. The qualitative judgment showed that students faced many problems when joining classes, such as poor Internet connection and insufficient network and technological facilities, etc. Some students live in rural areas and have slow Internet speeds, which sometimes prevented them from joining class. The findings of the study can help policy makers in higher education to review and adopt a new policy in higher education in Bangladesh. It can also help education instructors in universities to develop a proper study plan for their students.

The outstanding growth in digital technologies has raised higher education teachers’ attention towards developing digital competences for effectively fulfilling students’ learning requirements and keeping up with the rapidly evolving global education system. Nowadays, higher education teachers can find a plethora of online courses provided by educational organizations, universities, and businesses for reskilling and upskilling. The objective of this paper is to provide results from the assessment of existing massive open online courses regarding their potential to cover a large range of digital competences that higher education teachers should possess. A total of one hundred and sixty-two (162) online courses from three prominent international digital platforms, offering massive open online courses, were subjected to evaluation using a model incorporating six categories of attributes aligned with pertinent digital competences. The results indicate that the majority of the existing online courses lack sufficient coverage of key digital competences required by higher education teachers. Notably, these inadequately addressed competences regard evaluating students’ performance in the digital environment and ensuring positive online student experiences through collaborative engagement and self-reflection. The findings of this study offer valuable insights not only to higher education teachers, but also to online course developers and education policy-makers. The identified gaps in digital competences underscore the pressing need for substantial improvements in existing online courses or the development of new courses to effectively bridge these competence gaps. By addressing these shortcomings, higher education institutions can better equip their teachers to navigate the digital realm and elevate the overall quality of education in the digital era.

“…Technological development and digitalization have influenced learning worldwide. The current educational curriculum focuses more on the development of digital skills and technology, such as programming and software development (Gallardo-Fernández, Monsalve Lorente, and Aguasanta-Regalado 2021;Tudor Car et al 2021;Aldulaimi et al 2021;Rehman and Lakhan 2021).

Exploring research on educational curriculum: a systematic review using bibliometric analysis

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The educational curriculum is made up of learning materials and activities that are meant to help students learn the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become productive, skilled, and good global citizens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the most productive authors in terms of publication output, as well as the most cited educational curriculum topics. Scopus data sources are utilized because they are considered suitable for analysis with blibliometrics. As a bibliometric analysis tool, VOSviewer software is used to show the author's network, and keywords. Then, for future theme prediction analysis, utilize Rstudio software. The search was conducted on the keyword education curriculum in 2021. Data was obtained from 437 publication documents. Results showed that the authors wrote most of Anderson P's publications, followed by Ayaz-AlKay S and Barrett M. However, in terms of the highest number of citations, different results were found. The highest-grossing writers of 2021 were O'Connor J and Penney D. As expected, the keywords of the education curriculum will be included in the list of keywords that are still in demand by researchers. A number of anticipated keywords will continue to be in demand in the future. There are themes of human, curriculum, child, student, physical education, COVID-19/SARS-cov-2, and medical. These themes, which could serve as future authors' references to the educational curriculum, can be collaborated on.
