Abstract:

Since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, university education at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra has undergone major changes. The changes concerned the organization but also the way of education. While during the first wave teachers and students did not have much experience with online education, then in the second wave the online education was at a much higher level and the experience of teachers and students was greater. The summer semester of the academic year 2020/2021 at the university was the third semester of student’s education at the university, which took place exclusively in a distance form. In this article, we focus on the education at this exact semester, which took place at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra. This article follows up the articles University education during the corona crisis, ICERI 2020 and University education during the second wave of the corona crisis, EDULEARN 2021.

The aim of the paper is to analyze what methods of education and technology were used during the third wave of the covid-19 pandemic in the summer semester of the academic year 2020/2021 and also to find out students’ opinions on the quality of such a form of education. To achieve the goal, an attitude questionnaire was created and distributed to university students. The questionnaire contains 29 questions, but for the purpose of this article we used only a part of the questions. 216 students completed the questionnaire. Students of every year and faculty of the University of Constantine the Philosopher participated. In addition to the questionnaire, we also used the method of observation and interview to verify the goal.
