Abstract

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the traditional pedagogical educational system worldwide. The story of Pakistan is also not different from that of the rest of the world. Pakistan’s higher education institutes were closed for classes due to the outbreak. Some universities started the virtual education system, and it is critically important to assess the behavioral intentions of university students toward online education during the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. This is the first study investigating students' responses to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted to obtain the students' responses from the higher institutions providing online classes during COVID-19. The results were evaluated using multivariate analysis and descriptive statistics. It was observed that there is a significant difference between male and female students concerning the positive consequences of COVID-19 on students. According to the findings, the students' intentions for online education are more concerned with saving time to complete the degree program. Higher education institutions should also provide online educational opportunities to students besides traditional physical modes. Online educational interventions will be helpful for students during unavoidable circumstances like political instabilities, natural disasters, viral disease outbreaks, etc. to complete degrees and diplomas. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-SIED1-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on nearly all sectors, including global education systems, necessitating a rapid shift from traditional classroom teaching to online learning, despite many institutions lacking the necessary infrastructure for such a transition. The integration of interactive multimedia and flexible scheduling in e-learning has enhanced student engagement and accessibility significantly compared to traditional education methods. It is crucial to assess the post-COVID impacts on students’ learning and performance following the abrupt shift from in-person to online education. The online questionnaire used here, created using Google Forms, targeted students across Pakistan, covering their opinions, challenges, and recommendations on traditional and online learning, particularly their post-COVID perspectives. Surveys were distributed to various universities, including institutions in Punjab, Sindh, Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. A snowball sampling method was employed to gather responses, leveraging participants’ networks to expand the sample size, and the collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for descriptive statistics. The demographic attributes of the involved 150 respondents showed that 59.3% had a rural background, 80% were aged 18–23, and 75% were male, with 51% living within 1–25 km from their universities. Results revealed that students showed a slight preference for online education, with a higher level of comfort expressed in using digital tools and better access to resources, though factors of engagement and peer interaction still need improvement. Universities ought to address matters involving data privacy, academic integrity, accessibility, intellectual property, and contractual duties to ensure legal obedience and equity in online education. Faculty, students, and governing bodies should work jointly to design efficient legal strategies.
