“…Because Home Study was also partly asynchronous, self-discipline and organization, partial characteristics of the conscientiousness factor, played a major role in the completion of the study tasks also during the pandemic (Audet et al, 2021). However, the expectation of a negative relationship of extraversion and study satisfaction in Home Study could not be confirmed by the present study: Extraversion was not related to study satisfaction during Home Study at all.…”

As a result of the protective measures taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, studies at German universities were restructured. Students were forced to move into Home Study in the spring of 2020, with their daily study routine changing to predominantly online-based teaching methods and digital content delivery. The present study addressed the relation between coping with the Home Study situation and personality: The interrelations of the Big Five factors extraver-sion and conscientiousness with students' well-being, study satisfaction and academic performance were examined in 287 German online participants. The results showed significant positive correla-tions of positive affect and conscientiousness, as well as of better academic performance and aca-demic satisfaction. For Extraversion, also supporting evidence on the affective level emerged, alt-hough previous studies suggested negative influences of extraversion on affect in Home Study settings. Yet, in the present study, possibly due to the phase of the pandemic, extraversion corre-lated negatively with negative affect and showed positive correlation with positive affect. Further-more, neuroticism showed negative correlations with all constructs tested, indicating a negative influence on satisfaction, mood and performance also in Home study. In summary, conscientious students coped well with the challenge of the pandemic Home Study situation in terms of well-being, study satisfaction and academic performance. Extraverts were able to cope with the situa-tion better than expected, yet only regarding mood and affect, while neuroticism leads to unfavor-able effects in general. When making decisions about study conditions, the personalities of stu-dents should be considered, not to favor any negative effects for certain individuals.

“…The development of online learning strategies must also be part of the planning for the development of the education system so that the impacts resulting from online learning activities can still achieve the goals of providing education such as offline learning activities (Elzainy et al, 2020). From the perspective of students and educators, all parties must struggle with the transition from offline to online classes (Audet et al, 2021). Meanwhile, from parents' perspective, online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic also has a negative impact.…”

The current Covid-19 pandemic has had many effects on human life globally, including the implementation of education. This study aimed to obtain the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on learning outcomes in higher education. The research method used is a cross-sectional study. The data were taken from the test results at the end of the lecture, observations, and interviews. The research was conducted at the University of Muhammadiyah Lampung, IPDN Jatinangor Campus, and the Ahmad Dahlan Institute of Technology and Business, with 120 students participating. The data analysis technique used the percentage technique and cross-tabulation. The study results concluded that student learning outcomes decreased in the 2020-2021 academic year compared to the 2019-2020 academic year. The decline in learning outcomes includes knowledge, skills, and psychology. This finding has implications for the understanding of education personnel regarding online teaching and learning design during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The levels considered were the commonly used online platforms such as Zoom [35,46,47], Blackboard Collaborate [48], or MS Teams [49].

“…Since the FMS are in the working class and are more sensitive to their profile and information, security is highly considered. As indicated by [35,46,47], Zoom is a platform that can accommodate students through invites and the moderator can choose to accept and decline attendees. With high-security features, this justifies why FMS would highly prefer Zoom (0.140) compared to BBI and MS Teams.…”

Students’ Preference Analysis on Online Learning Attributes in Industrial Engineering Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Conjoint Analysis Approach for Sustainable Industrial Engineers

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The decline of enrollees for industrial engineering during the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing demand for professional industrial engineers should be explored. The purpose of this study was to determine the preference of industrial engineering students of different educational levels on online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this study utilized conjoint analysis with orthogonal design considering seven attributes: delivery type, layout, term style, final requirements, Coursera requirements, seatwork and practice sets, and platforms. Among the attributes, 20 stimuli were created through SPSS and were answered voluntarily by 126 respondents utilizing a 7-point Likert Scale. The respondents were comprised of 79 undergraduate, 30 fully online master’s degree, and 17 master’s and doctorate degree students collected through purposive sampling. One university from the two available universities that offer all educational levels of IE in the Philippines was considered. The results showed that undergraduate students considered the final requirements with multiple-choice as the highest preference, followed by non-modular term style, and no seatwork and practice sets. In addition, fully online master’s degree students considered delivery type with the mix as the highest preference, followed by layout, and no seatwork and practice sets. Finally, master’s and doctorate degree students considered final requirements with publication as the highest preference, followed by no seatwork and practice sets, and mix delivery type. The students are technologically inclined, want to learn at their own pace, know where and how to get additional online learning materials, but still need the guidance of teachers/professors. The results would help contribute to the theoretical foundation for further students’ preference segmentation, specifically on online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. Moreover, the design created could be utilized for other courses in measuring students’ preference for online learning even after the COVID-19 pandemic.
