“…This can create an unequal playing field and make it more difficult for some students to participate and succeed in distance education programs. An interesting analysis based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) algorithms of over 160,000 tweets regarding the transition to remote learning in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic was shown in [212]. It turned out that about 54.4 percent of tweets have a negative overtone.…”

The Influence of Emerging Technologies on Distance Education

Recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, distance education became mainstream. Many students were not prepared for this situation—they lacked equipment or were not even connected to the Internet. Schools and government institutions had to react quickly to allow students to learn remotely. They had to provide students with equipment (e.g., computers, tablets, and goggles) but also provide them with access to the Internet and other necessary tools. On the other hand, teachers were trying to adopt new technologies in the teaching process to enable more interactivity, mitigate feelings of isolation and disconnection, and enhance student engagement. New technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Extended Reality (XR, so-called Metaverse), Big Data, Blockchain, and Free Space Optics (FSO) changed learning, teaching, and assessing. Despite that, some tools were implemented fast, and the COVID-19 pandemic was the trigger for this process; most of these technologies will be used further, even in classroom teaching in both schools and universities. This paper presents a concise review of the emerging technologies applied in distance education. The main emphasis was placed on their influence on the efficiency of the learning process and their psychological impact on users. It turned out that both students and teachers were satisfied with remote learning, while in the case of undergraduate children and high-school students, parents very often expressed their dissatisfaction. The limitation of the availability of remote learning is related to access to stable Internet and computer equipment, which turned out to be a rarity. In the current social context, the obtained results provided valuable insights into factors affecting the acceptance and emerging technologies applied in distance education. Finally, this paper suggests a research direction for the development of effective remote learning techniques.

“…Typically, adverse life events with respect to academic resilience pertain to the individual level. The Covid-19 pandemic on the other hand, has recently induced life-event stress on a global scale and has been investigated with respect to different risk and resilience factors affecting students' success in coping with the hardships of isolation during lockdown 44,45 .…”

Coming from a disadvantaged background can have negative impact on an individual’s educational trajectory. Some people however seem unaffected and cope well with the demands and challenges posed by school education, despite growing up in adverse conditions, a phenomenon termed academic resilience. While it is uncertain which underlying factors make some people more likely to circumvent unfavorable odds than others, both socioeconomic status (SES) and cognitive ability have robustly been linked to school performance. The objective of the present work is to investigate if individual cognitive abilities and SES interact in their effect on grades. For this purpose, we analyzed SES, cognitive, and school performance data from 5001 participants from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. Ordinal logistic regression models suggest similar patterns of associations between three SES measures (parental education, income-to-needs ratio, and neighborhood deprivation) and grades at two timepoints, with no evidence for interaction effects between SES and time. Parental education and income-to-needs ratio were associated with grades at both timepoints, irrespective of whether cognitive abilities were modeled or not. Neighborhood deprivation, in contrast, was only a statistically significant predictor of reported grades when cognitive abilities were not factored in. Cognitive abilities interacted with parental education level, meaning that they could be a safeguard against effects of SES on school performance.

En el contexto de la educación superior, este artículo de revisión sistemática explora la efectividad de diversas intervenciones dirigidas a fortalecer la resiliencia en estudiantes de ingeniería y su impacto directo en el rendimiento académico. El estudio revisó 68 artículos, de los cuales se seleccionaron 20 estudios para el análisis detallado del artículo. Las estrategias evaluadas incluyen fomentar la gratitud, satisfacer necesidades psicológicas y promover relaciones familiares saludables, todas esenciales para fortalecer la resiliencia. Los resultados muestran que estas intervenciones no solo mejoran la resiliencia, sino que también influyen positivamente en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. La conclusión del artículo enfatiza la importancia de implementar programas que, además de robustecer la resiliencia, contribuyan directamente al éxito académico. Se subraya la necesidad de más investigaciones en este campo, destacando el potencial de estas estrategias para mejorar el bienestar emocional y académico de los estudiantes de ingeniería. Este análisis ofrece valiosas perspectivas para futuros estudios.
