Proposal for Presentation

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Andrews University switched to a completely remote learning modality from the traditional face-to-face in-classroom instructions in the Spring 2020 semester. This study was conducted to examine the students’ perception of their learning environment during this transition. The online survey questionnaire was adapted from the DREEM. Four hundred and twenty-one students participated in the study. We used descriptive statistics for analysis. Results revealed 61% of participants perceiving the learning environment as more positive than negative. The social-self-perception was slightly low. Though we don’t have a baseline for comparison, these results revealed educational areas needing improvement.

Acknowledgments

  • Andrews University's Provost and the Provost's office helped to recruit students into the study.
  • Andrews University Office of Research provided the two Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards.
  • Dean, College of Health and Human Services encouraged and supported the interdisciplinary team collaboration for the study.
