“…Findings also confirmed that the students' challenges in the wake of COVID-19 could affect their academic performance, including but not limited to student's access to internet connectivity, most specifically, rurally located students (Dube, 2020;Omodan, 2020a;Oreku, 2021). Another challenge is the live streaming of theoretical teaching and learning devoid of practicals via "Google classroom, Zoom, Easy Class, Go To Meeting, Blackboard ® and WhatsApp" (Oreku, 2021;Jimola & Ofodu, 2021;Jinadu et al, 2021). These challenges may have contributed to the feelings and perceptions that the curriculum content delivery during the COVID-19 new normal has been compromised.…”

Observation and experience exist among university students during COVID-19 new normal; the quality and the process of academic activities have been compromised. This study, therefore, examines the lacuna on whether the new normal is more productive by ensuring that the intention of the curriculum towards students' content knowledge is met or not. Organisational change theory was used to theorise the study within the transformative paradigm (TP) and participatory Rresearch (PR) lenses as a research design. The study was conducted in one of the universities in South Africa. Ten students were selected using the convenience sampling technique because the students were not fully on campus as of the time of this study. The online interview was adopted to collect data because of social distancing rules across the country. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. The findings revealed that the COVID-19 new normal does not affect students’ academic performance negatively even though the quality of content delivery is low. The channels of teaching-learning and the Internet of Things are deduced to be unpleasant for the students with recommendations that there is a need to provide the internet-or-things alongside training and retraining for students and lecturers.

“…The result of this study is in line with that of Simplilearn (2023), who found that there are several online tools used for data collection. Among them are survey monkey, qualtrics, google forms, telephone interviewing, survey planet and other data collection methods (Jinadu and Balogun, 2020;Cristobal-Fransi et al, 2020;Omodan, 2020;Jinadu et al, 2021;Simplilearn, 2023). It is important to spread awareness and the use of these tools to the public as it will significantly enhance the data collection process.…”

“…Apart from these challenges identified by researchers, remote data collection can be easier if things are in place. There are several online tools used for data collection; among them are; survey monkey (Jinadu and Balogun, 2020), qualtrics (Jinadu et al, 2021), google forms (Simplilearn, 2023;Cristobal-Fransi et al, 2020), telephone interviewing (Omodan, 2020), survey planet and other data collection methods. Therefore, it is important to spread awareness and the use of these tools to the public as it will significantly enhance the data collection process (Simplilearn, 2023).…”

Behavioural researchers have been faced with challenges associated with the choice of data collection methods that is timely and cost-effective for all situations. Several studies have examined various means of collecting data while some electronic means of data collection have been explored. However, there is a need for a study that compares the conventional and contemporary data collection methods in terms of profile, perceptions and prospects. Therefore, this study examined the new breakthroughs and the future of behavioural research data collection in post COVID-19 era. The study is underpinned by connectivism learning theory within ex-post facto design with a sample of one hundred and twenty-six (126) behavioural science researchers. Post COVID-19 Data Collection Methods Scale-Forms App (r=0.86) was used, and the data collected were analysed using frequency count and t-test. The findings showed that there were more users of breakthrough methods 47 (37.3%) than conventional 39 (30.9%) and mixed method 40 (31.7%). Conventional methods were less available than new breakthrough methods. There is a significant difference in the perception, challenges and prospects of the conventional and breakthroughs in behavioural research data collection methods, all in favour of new breakthroughs. It is, therefore, recommended that behavioural researchers, as well as other researchers, avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the new breakthrough to advance their research endeavours in post COVID-19 era.

“…But this unannounced pandemic forced education and other organizations to a new way of working online, which people neglected or thought was impossible. Besides the negative financial impact, health implications and the loss of lives, COVID-19 affected the education sector in every aspect, especially in teaching and learning (Adigun et al, 2021;Jinadu et al, 2021). Because there was no indication that a pandemic of this nature would happen, many universities that never had the intention of running online teaching and learning suddenly found themselves in this situation, which means that both students and lecturers must find the means of communication to engage in teaching and learning.…”

It has been observed that students do not adhere to COVID-19 regulations on campus despite various instructions from both government and university authorities for staff and students to maintain adequate COVID-19 protocols in universities. Therefore, this study explores the challenges faced by students that make them disregard COVID-19 protocols, such as wearing nose masks, hand sanitization, and social distancing. The study is located in an interpretive paradigm using a case study as a research design. The convenience sampling technique was used to select ten university students who responded to interview questions on the challenges that hinder them from complying with COVID-19 protocols. The study adopted thematic analysis (TA) as a qualitative tool to interpret and make meanings from the data generated. The study found that limited COVID-19 awareness on campus, health challenges among students, and lack of classroom capacity and personal protective equipment (PPE) are significant challenges. In contrast, the recommended solutions are stricter COVID-19 regulations, provision of PPE and spacious lecture rooms, and creating COVID-19 awareness/education. The study suggests that university management or authorities should provide strategies to make students adhere to the measures, provide PPE to alleviate students financially or socially and ensure adequate awareness of COVID-19 on campus.
