Abstract:

During the covid-19 pandemic, university education was influenced by many factors. One of the most significant factors was the environment in which the students were. Before the pandemic, students were used to being educated on university premises. With the advent of the covid-19 pandemic, they had to change the school environment to home. This change was initially welcomed by students, but over time they found that some aspects of home-based education have some disadvantages compared to university education.

University students during the coronacrisis were also greatly influence by their home technical equipment, with the help of which they were educated and through which they held distance learning. By staying at home, the students also had to adapt to online technical education. Some students, especially in the first wave, did not have sufficient technical equipment or experience with this form of education.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the impact of the environment on students of the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra during the third wave of the covid-19 pandemic in the summer semester of the academic year 2020/2021. Another aim is to determine the impact of students' technical equipment and experience on education during the third wave of the pandemic at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra. An attitude questionnaire was created to achieve the goals. In the questionnaire, we analyze 14 questions that focus on the environment and technical equipment. The questionnaire was attended by 216 students from all faculties and all years of the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra. In addition to the questionnaire, we also used the method of observation and interviews to verify the goals.
