Education in pandemic times: A student vision of the contrast between presential and online education

Abstract

With the goal of know and evaluate the face-to-face education previous to the pandemic and contrasting it with the education accomplished during the COVID 19 pandemic, this research was carried out on undergraduate students. A survey was applied, previously validated (Ortiz-Sánchez et al., 2021), the results allow to know aspects related to ideas that students have expressed during the exercise of online classes and in pre-pandemic. The research was carried out with students of different levels and areas of academic preparation. The results show that in higher education there is a great sense of adaptation to both forms of learning, with a slight tendency to be more interested in face-to-face education, with no significant differences between the opinions shown by the results between online education and face-to-face education. The known of these data can provide the establishment of actions and direction to appropriate methodologies for the future development of the emerging mixed education.
