Abstract

Given the complicated transition in which post communist countries have been going through during their rapiddevelopment, it is important to make sure that concerns of the weakest part of these societies are taken into consideration andnot left on their own fate hidden in the chaotic transition process. This study is an evaluation of Albanian needy families’perceptions of the public Economic Aid program. Qualitative research was based on ten interviews of Economic Aid recipients,male and female baby boomers. They all had children. The findings showed a huge gap between the Economic Aid amount andtheir real expenses and needs. In most cases this gap was covered from black market jobs. Recipients felt extremely poor,inferior, hopeless, and concerned about surviving. The lack of trust in the Economic Aid program in specific and the governmentin general was due to perceived high level of corruption. We recommended a practical framework for restructuring the EconomicAid program in terms of the amount delivered, transparency, employment support, psychological assistance for both parents andchildren, and better medical coverage.

Abstract

As a result of the pandemic, Universities in Albania faced this challenge for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic. This transition created difficulties for both teachers and students. By studying students’ perceptions towards online learning, it is possible to identify their specific challenges and needs. It can provide a valuable perspective for improving the online learning experience in the future. The objective of this study is to examine the perceptions of social work students regarding the effectiveness and interaction experiences associated with their online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic at the University of Shkodra “Luigj Gurakuqi”, Albania, compared to classroom learning. This is descriptive research and includes quantitative and qualitative data. A structural questionnaire was distributed and followed by descriptive and thematic analysis. The sample included 84 students in a bachelor's program in social work. Students favored online courses for improving technical skills, dedicating more time to homework, and preferring email for queries. However, social interaction did not rise compared to classrooms. Students suggests blended learning for inclusivity, especially for those with financial, health, or job constraints. Ultimately, students preferred classroom learning for future teaching
