The Identification of University Students with Online Teaching in the Second Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: Not only in Europe did education systems undergo enforced adaptation in the area of the provision of knowledge in 2020 as a result of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Educational institutions had to shift to remote forms of online teaching as a result of the government’s epidemiological measures within a relatively short period of time and without the opportunity to prepare. The goal of this paper is to provide an empirical assessment of the online education situation in the so-called second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic using the example of the University of Finance and Administration in Prague. The specific goal is to use a questionnaire survey to ascertain the degree to which the students identify with selected elements of online education and to ascertain their attitudes to the overall significance, benefit and effectiveness of the online form of academic education. It will be shown that the introduction of online teaching in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has not only been accepted by the student population as an effective alternative form of education, but that it also enables the more flexible harmonisation of studies and work. At the same time, opinions will also be heard that promote the possible wider and more permanent introduction of online teaching, which may constitute strategic information for the further development of the university and the strengthening of its position in the education market.
