Abstract:

The Covid19 pandemic brought completely new conditions to education and placed different demands on all students and teachers than they were used to. Universities in Slovakia switched to online teaching from the summer semester in the 2019/2020 school year. In the fall of the 2020/2021 school year, the situation was repeated. Face-to-face teaching was interrupted again, and online teaching continued throughout the school year. In the winter semester of the 2021/2022 school year, classes were held face-to-face for the first three weeks and continued online again until the end of the semester. The summer semester started online, but after the first three weeks, students returned to school classrooms and the school year ended with face-to-face classes. It follows that the students gained a lot of experience with online teaching during the four semesters.

The aim of the article is to get feedback from students on the period of online teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic. We carried out an online questionnaire survey among students of teaching professional economics subjects and students from other disciplines who attend lectures on economics subjects. The survey was carried out between mid-April 2022 and the end of May 2022. The number of completed questionnaires by students was 217.

We learned about learning efficiency, technical challenges, self-organization and time management, and teamwork. In general, students are satisfied with online learning. It suits them that they don't have to travel, they can study in the comfort of their home. Returning to school classrooms was difficult for them. On the other hand, they admitted that online teaching is more demanding in the area of self-organization, especially time management, and teamwork is also more demanding in the online space. Students lacked contact with classmates and personal consultations with teachers. The results show that combined teaching would suit the students. Lectures in the form of online courses that you could watch and listen to according to your own time. Exercises or consultations in person on the premises of the university.
