ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ OPINION ON ONLINE CLASSES AND EXAMS AT FOUR PROFESSIONAL UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
Abstract
Since the breakout of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, post-secondary education in Croatia has been held almost exclusively online. Therefore, teachers and students had to adapt to the entirely way of education. Online classes were held by using web-conference tools (MS Teams, Zoom, Moodle webinar), while class materials and online exams were available through learning management systems (Merlin, 2co2, Moodle). In this paper we present the results of surveying students of electrica University of Rijeka, and students of preschool education at the Faculty of Education, University of Zagreb. The survey was conducted during June 2021 and 106 students participated in the survey. A purposive sampling technique was used by distributing questionnaires online using Google Form. We used descriptive statistics methods, the chi- squared test analysis and software Statistica to analyze the results. In this survey, students expressed their opinion on the quality of several online subjects in mathematics, estimated their ability to use online learning tools, and evaluated the quality of questions in online exams. Based on the statistical analysis of the survey results, we present our conclusions regarding the efficacy of online classes, the degree of realization of learning outcomes,the utility of using elements of online exams for monitoring students’ progress in the future, and the quality of online class materials and exams. We propose an optimal combination of the elements of standard (contact) forms of examination with online examination. The latter should be more important as a separately evaluated form of monitoring students’ progress (e.g. class activity, homework, etc.)
