“…When the results regarding the second subproblem of the study were examined, it was observed that the visual arts teachers mentioned experiencing problems related to internet access, lack of infrastructure, and learning process in the distance visual arts education process. Similar results were reported in previous studies that were conducted with teachers in other branches (Almanthari et al, 2020;Bakioğlu, Çevik, 2020;Bayburtlu, 2020;Karakaya et al, 2020;Sari and Nayır, 2020).…”

“…When the results obtained within the framework of the third subproblem of the study were examined, it was determined that the visual arts teachers preferred the direct instruction method more frequently in the distance visual arts education process compared to other methods and techniques. Similar results were reported in studies that were conducted with biology and science teachers (Bakioğlu, Çevik, 2020;Karakaya et al, 2020). According to the results obtained, it is suggested that novel plans and education programs should be regulated to prepare students and teachers for distance education in extraordinary disaster situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the perceptions of teachers regarding distance visual arts education in the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is a qualitative study that is based on the case study model. Based on the aim of the study, perceptions of 12 visual arts teachers, who served in various cities in Turkey, were inquired. The data, which were collected by a semi-structured interview form, were analyzed by the content analysis technique. As a result of the study, it was determined that the visual arts teachers had positive and negative perceptions regarding distance visual arts education in the COVID-19 pandemic. It was determined that the teachers experienced problems that were related to internet access, lack of infrastructure, and learning processes in the process of distance visual arts education. Furthermore, it was determined that the teachers preferred the direct instruction method more frequently compared to other methods and techniques in the distance education process. According to the results of the study, it is suggested that new plans and education programs should be developed to prepare students and teachers for distance education in extraordinary disaster situations.

“…According to the results of the implemented SLR, no similar experiments have been reported to validate this implication. Likewise, the present investigation conceptually links the categories shown in Table A1, which are regularly studied non-simultaneously, as shown in the references [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Therefore, we consider that this work has an added value to the understanding of the teaching intervention phenomena that have taken place in post-COVID distance education.…”

A Simple Approach to Relating the Optimal Learning and the Meaningful Learning Experience in Students Age 14–16

et al. 2021

Using a questionnaire applied in real time to students in stages 14–16 during a distance class, the authors appraise whether they experience feelings that lead to a central experience of flow, according to the flow theory of positive psychology. Students are exposed to a planned session that considers the moments of the training sequence and consciously integrates technological tools to support learning. A formal evaluation system, which includes formative and summative evaluations, determines if students build meaningful learning. This research contributes to understanding that an optimal learning experience characterized by the pedagogical principles of curiosity, concentration, challenge, and enjoyment, favor the construction of meaningful learning. Furthermore, the simplicity of the proposed experimental design suggests a direct way to replicate the study in later learning stages and assess the efficiency of new technology-based pedagogies within the distance education paradigm imposed by the 2020 pandemic crisis.

Advancements in educational technology and improvements in the internet’s connectivity has increased the interest of universities in e-learning worldwide. Unlike many institutions around the world, the traditional form of teaching in Albania before the Covid-19 pandemic was face-to-face where both lectures and seminars were attended physically in the classroom. However, the Covid-19 pandemic imposed on them the necessity to move from auditoriums to e-learning immediately without any preparation. This paper aims to investigate the Albanian learners’ attitudes and perceptions of synchronous e-learning during the second semester of the 2019 – 2020 academic year. A survey consisting of 15 questions was distributed to a total of 168 undergraduate and graduate learners in 2 public universities in Albania. Results from the study showed that the learners preferred face-to-face learning over synchronous learning. The lack of motivation, low level of interaction with their instructors and peers, and the feeling of isolation were their main concerns. Meanwhile, the learners appreciated the fact that e-learning helped them to improve their computer and internet skills. It is also less expensive and more comfortable than the traditional mode of teaching and learning.
