Abstract:
Knowing the thinking and behaviour of young people is currently one of the priorities of effective education. It is especially important to know the current changes in the young generation, which are related to the trends that shape and influence this generation. Especially in the online age, last year with Covid 19, the young generation immersed themselves even more in a world that transcends their local culture, language, or the educational and upbringing potential of the school. Globalization and its unlimited opportunities on the Internet inspire young people every day with incentives that massively transcend the boundaries of school, country, or culture. The indicated "space" brings a unique challenge to education in the context of Slovak and world education. It is a challenge to adopt modern technologies and possibilities as an everyday part of the curriculum, which does not lack innovative tools that allow you to master many curricula more visually, effectively, and more fun. The indicated challenge - the attenuation of procrastination due to innovations in education at the time of Covid 19 - is the subject of our own research, which discusses selected trends that shape and influence the current university youth in Slovakia. The questionnaire, completed by 112 university students from several universities in Slovakia, represents the most important factors for maintaining students' motivation to study online, influenced by Covid 19.

Based on the findings, it can be stated that respondents in online education would welcome in particular:
1. The use of mobile educational applications;
2. The approach of the teacher, which leads to a deepening of the partnership approach also in the online environment;
3. Virtual reality to strengthen team and project cooperation;
4. Online education that addresses a specific activity or challenge;
5. Education, which includes experts from practice.

The sub-objectives represent an evaluation of the current level of student satisfaction within the five indicators we monitor. Research provides an insight into education that does not ignore the latest trends, but on the contrary, works with them and actively involves and uses them in the educational process. The education of the young generation thus acquires not only an educational and formational character, but also becomes attractive. The premise of not only more successful memorization of knowledge, but also their more willing application in the practical life of today's young generation is growing exponentially.
