STUDENTS' OPINIONS ON REMOTE LEARNING/ HALLGATÓI VÉLEMÉNYEK A TÁVOLLÉTI OKTATÁSRÓL

We aim to highlight the significant differences in the effectiveness of traditional teaching and emergency remote teaching. We formulated the hypotheses from the point of view of the students. Our study was registered and approved by ELTE PPK under number KEB-2020/102.
H.1. Students are not too happy about online learning due to changes in their successful academic progress, lifestyle, and living conditions.
H.2. Although the availability of ICT tools and the development of digital competencies are dispersed among students, those have a positive effect on the smooth transition
H.3. Students have a general positive belief that their professors have handled subject activities and requirements with acceptable flexibility although the increase in the number of subjects and instructors is coupled with a more negative perception of faculty flexibility.

Our research sample consists of 478 higher education students participating in voluntary data provision, who had the opportunity to be reached through personal acquaintance and various community of social media. Due to the low number of items and the strong inter-institutional dispersion of the respondents, our data are not representative, therefore they do not allow for national findings or comparisons between different higher education institutions.
Our results point out the extraordinary efforts of students to stand up in remote learning as well as the differences in terms of the efficiency/organization of online education. In addition, some neuralgic points in the success of distance education, such as student and faculty anomalies in the knowledge and use of ICT tools, are highlighted. Our data also shed light on the shortcomings of the digital readiness of Hungarian higher education on the student and teacher side and the areas to be developed.
