“…Still, some recent studies have already indicated findings similar to the results of this research paper. Even though not particularly in the field of translation in general and sight translation in particular, the considerable decrease in students' academic achievement during the COVID-19 pandemic has also been reported by some researchers such as Moliner, et al, (2022), Alghamdi (2021), Alwazna, (2021 and Gonzalez, et al (2020). Consequently, the reduction in students' sight translation achievement found in the current paper study is too similar to studies in teaching and learning in general and translation teaching and learning in particular.…”

Many alma maters, colleges, graduate schools, and institutes of higher education around the world postponed lecture hall teaching because of the coronavirus disease outbreak and moved on to learning and teaching online. The recent study aims at scrutinizing the effects of the covid nineteen pneumonia epidemic sequestration on the academic performance of sight translation female students at King Khalid University. Also, the study seeks to answer the following main question: has the covid nineteen pneumonia (Covid 19) considerably impacted translation of female students’ sight translation achievement?. The purposive sample of the study consisted of (47) female students of sight translation at the Dhahran al-Janoub female student campus, who attended lectures on different days and participated in the study.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, academic institutions have faced the challenge of understanding the social-psychological features that produce better academic performance among translation students in an online learning environment. Although self-efficacy is widely studied in a variety of teaching and learning models, few studies have examined self-efficacy in regard to translation students. This empirical study aims to examine the roles of general self-efficacy and computer self-efficacy in terms of the academic achievement and computer use of translation students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants included 83 undergraduate translation students at the English Language Department of Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. They completed the General Self-Efficacy Scale and Computer Self-Efficacy Scale questionnaires. The results found self-efficacy scores were a significant predictor of overall GPA scores, highly predictive of computer self-efficacy, and also predicted an increased typing frequency and computer usage. This study suggests that translation students with greater levels of self-efficacy will be more likely to possess social-psychological features that align with the independent, self-directed nature of online learning environments.

“…Sin embargo, la mayoría de los estudiantes se enfrentaron a diversos problemas tecnológicos, didácticos y de salud que interfirieron en su proceso de aprendizaje, lo que aumentó su deseo de volver a las clases regulares en la universidad lo antes posible. Alwazna (2021), desde Arabia Saudí, aborda la enseñanza de la traducción durante la pandemia. Trata de descubrir los retos que encuentran los profesores de traducción en la combinación árabe-inglés en la enseñanza en línea y las soluciones disponibles para resolverlos.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the health of individuals, societies, and the global economy. It has also transformed the ways of working and communicating. In the educational field, there are numerous studies that show the necessary adaptation that was conducted throughout the world, with cases of success and challenges that caused profound transitions and innovations inside and outside the classroom. Since the eruption of COVID-19 in December 2019, both institutions and individuals have had to reformulate their ways of teaching and learning. But have all these changes been negative or have they also implied a way to move forward? In the following pages we will try to answer this question with examples of studies carried out in different parts of the world as a sample of the global world we live in.
