La relaci贸n entre las actitudes de los estudiantes hacia el uso de la educaci贸n virtual y su nivel de satisfacci贸n durante la pandemia de COVID-19
The move to new approaches to higher education has required many universities around the world to use e-learning in their courses. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the attitudes of the students toward using virtual education and their satisfaction level during the Covid-19 crisis. The research methodology used was descriptive. A sample of 165 undergraduate students (89 technical engineering and 76 psychology students) were randomly selected at Islamic Azad University Shahre Rey in the first semester of 2020-2021. Attitude and satisfaction level toward virtual education questionnaires were used to collect data. The analyses were carried out through SPSS software (26 version), by using the Pearson correlation and t-tests on two independent samples. Findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between attitudes toward virtual education and satisfaction for all participants. Therefore, it can be concluded that the more positive attitudes towards e-learning and virtual education are, the higher the satisfaction level toward virtual education is. In addition, there was no difference between the attitudes and satisfaction level toward virtual education in the two target groups. A more accurate analysis of the questions showed that virtual education generated more problems for technical students when it came to understanding the main concepts. While both groups believed that online examinations were more appropriate given the pandemic circumstances, some difficulties such as internet speed and challenges while uploading the response sheets affected their attitude in a negative way. The findings also indicated that psychology students found using the internet and online platforms more challenging than engineering students.El avance hacia nuevos enfoques de la educaci贸n superior, ha requerido a muchas universidades alrededor del mundo que emplean educaci贸n virtual en sus cursos. El objetivo de este estudio es investigar la relaci贸n entre las actitudes de los estudiantes frente al uso de educaci贸n virtual con el nivel de su satisfacci贸n durante la crisis del covid-19. Este estudio fue dise帽ado como una investigaci贸n descriptiva aplicada. Una muestra aleatoria de 165 estudiantes fue recogida de la poblaci贸n de los estudiantes de pregrado de cursos de Ingenier铆a T茅cnica y de psicolog铆a (89 estudiantes t茅cnicos y 76 estudiantes de psicolog铆a) de la Universidad Isl谩mica Azad de Shahre Rey-Ir谩n, durante el primer semestre de 2020-2021. para recopilar datos sobre la actitud y el nivel de satisfacci贸n de los estudiantes, un cuestionario fue utilizado. el an谩lisis fue realizado fue realizado a trav茅s de programa spss (versi贸n 26), utilizando la correlaci贸n de Pearson y Prueba T para muestras independientes Los hallazgos indicaron que hay una relaci贸n significativa entre las actitudes hacia a la educaci贸n virtual y la satisfacci贸n de todos los participantes. Adem谩s, no hubo diferencia entre las actitudes y el nivel de satisfacci贸n hacia la educaci贸n virtual entre los dos grupos. Hay que tener en cuenta, que un an谩lisis m谩s preciso sobre la pregunta demuestra que la educaci贸n virtual ha creado m谩s problemas en la comprensi贸n de los conceptos principales para los estudiantes t茅cnicos. Aunque ambos grupos opinaron que los ex谩menes on-line eran m谩s apropiados dado las circunstancias de la pandemia, algunas dificultades como la velocidad de internet, los desaf铆os en cargar la hoja de respuestas y afect贸 sus actitudes en una manera negativa. Los resultados del estudio tambi茅n demostraron que los estudiantes de psicolog铆a encuentran m谩s desafiante usar el internet y plataformas en l铆nea, comparado con estudiantes de ingenier铆a. Seg煤n los hallazgos de este documento, se puede suponer que al dise帽ar infraestructuras de e-learning si el material debe ser entregado de manera productiva y eficaz, hay que tener en cuenta el contenido educativo de las diferentes 谩reas de estudio
Predicci贸n de la satisfacci贸n del alumnado con la educaci贸n virtual a partir de las conductas de estilo de vida orientadas a la salud
The aim of this study was to investigate student satisfaction with virtual education based on their health-oriented lifestyle behaviours. The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The statistical population included all undergraduate students in engineering and psychological fields at Islamic Azad University of Shahre Rey during the second semester of 2020-2021. Of these students, 188 (93 engineering students and 95 psychology students) were randomly selected. To collect the data, an instrument for measuring satisfaction with virtual education as well as the measurement scale for health-oriented academic lifestyle behaviours (Salehzadeh et al., 2017) were used. Findings revealed that the components of a health-oriented lifestyle as a whole explain 37.4% of the variance in student satisfaction with virtual education. The relationship between health-oriented lifestyle facilitators (academic optimism, mastery goal orientation, and academic resilience) and student satisfaction with virtual education was positive and significant. The relationship between health-oriented lifestyle inhibitor components (learned helplessness and procrastination) and student satisfaction with virtual education was negative and significant. The relationship between effort withdrawal and student satisfaction with virtual education was not significant (p>0.05). There was no difference between the components of a health-oriented lifestyle and student satisfaction with virtual education according to educational groups. Accordingly, creating a resilient educational environment, trying to participate, and teaching towards meaningful and problem-based learning will prevent students from avoiding virtual education.El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la satisfacci贸n del alumnado con la educaci贸n virtual a partir de sus conductas de estilo de vida orientadas a la salud. La presente investigaci贸n fue un estudio descriptivo correlacional. La poblaci贸n estad铆stica incluy贸 a todos los estudiantes de grado en ingenier铆a y psicolog铆a en la Universidad Isl谩mica de Azad, rama Shahre Rey en el segundo semestre de 2020-2021, de los cuales 188 conformaron la muestra (93 estudiantes de ingenier铆a y 95 de psicolog铆a), que fue seleccionada al azar. Para recopilar los datos se utiliz贸 un instrumento para medir la satisfacci贸n con la educaci贸n virtual, adem谩s de una escala para las conductas de estilo de vida acad茅mico orientadas a la salud (Salehzadeh et al., 2017). Los hallazgos indicaron que los componentes del estilo de vida orientado a la salud en conjunto explican el 37.4% de la varianza de la satisfacci贸n del alumnado con la educaci贸n virtual. La relaci贸n entre los facilitadores del estilo de vida centrado en la salud (optimismo acad茅mico, orientaci贸n a metas y resiliencia acad茅mica) con la satisfacci贸n de los estudiantes respecto a la educaci贸n virtual fue positiva y significativa. La relaci贸n entre los componentes inhibidores del estilo de vida centrado en la salud (impotencia aprendida y procrastinaci贸n) con la satisfacci贸n del alumnado con la educaci贸n virtual fue negativa y significativa. La relaci贸n entre el componente de retirada de esfuerzo y la satisfacci贸n de los estudiantes con la educaci贸n virtual no fue significativa (p > 0.05) y no hubo diferencia entre los componentes del estilo de vida orientado a la salud y la satisfacci贸n del alumnado con la educaci贸n virtual en funci贸n de grupos educativos. Como consecuencia, al crear un entorno educativo resiliente con la intenci贸n de participar y ense帽ar para lograr un aprendizaje significativo y basado en problemas, el alumnado apostar谩 por la educaci贸n virtual
Emotional Experience in Iranian Adolescents During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Phenomenological Study
This study was conducted to analyze the lived emotional experience of adolescents during the prevalence of COVID-19 and quarantine. The research method was phenomenological qualitative. To achieve information saturation, 25 adolescents aged 15-17 years were purposefully selected and responded to the research tool which was a semi-structured interview individually and online. After analyzing the six main themes of boredom, loneliness, homesickness, helplessness, stress, anger, and fear of judgment were extracted from the available data. The results of the present study are consistent with empirical evidence showing that although restrictions on quarantine are unavoidable, facilitating conditions to meet mental needs and maintain mental health, such as creating interpersonal relationships and supporting adolescents in critical situations, should be considered by healthcare providers, trainers, and parents
