ONLINE TEACHING AND STUDENT’S ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
ONLINE TEACHING AND STUDENT’S ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Summary/Abstract: The past decade has witnessed rapid advancement in the field of technologically-supported learning environments, as well as a trend of applying technologies in formal education. Accordingly, the introduction of various forms of e-learning is becoming a reality at many universities. The development of online education offers a wide range of different teaching and learning alternatives that move the process of education beyond the traditional classroom. Instead of traditional vis-a-vis instruction, students can hear lectures online, i.e. through information technologies. This research aimed to examine students´ attitudes regarding the impact of online teaching on academic achievement. The research included 204 students whose attitudes were analysed in relation to their sex, year of study, year of birth, study programme and average grade during their studies. In order to examine students´ attitudes, the research resorted to the five-point Likert assessment scale. Research results showed that respondents believe that online teaching had a positive impact on their academic achievement. However, when it comes to the comparison between the quality of online learning and traditional classroom instruction, research data show that students still lack a clearly defined attitude. Students point out the development of their digital competencies as a positive effect of online teaching during the Covid19 pandemic, as well as more effective management of time and activities during the day. When it comes to independent variables, the research established that sex, year of study, study programme and average grade do not have a statistically significant impact on students´ attitudes towards academic achievements as a result of online teaching.
