Abstract

The human resources unit in universities has planned training for academicians and directors. With the transition to distance education during the pandemic peri-od, face-to-face training has started to take place online. With this study, online training was planned for the administrators in the administrative department of universities. The opinions of the managers about online training are critical. Man-agers’ views were consulted on the effectiveness of online training. In this study, a qualitative research method was used to reach detailed results. The study group of the research con-sists of 18 administrators in the administrative department of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia and Russian New University. The application was carried out in the ‘online manager development programme’ for 3 weeks in the 2020–2021 fall semester. In order to access the data of this study, the interview form developed by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. While preparing the interview questions developed by the re-searcher, the opinions of four experts in the field were taken and the questions were finalized. Con-tent analysis was used in the analysis of the data. The find-ings obtained as a result of the research are given in detail in the findings and re-sults section.

Highlights

  • Since the end of 2019, the type of coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China, has begun to threaten human life

  • The answers to the following questions were sought in order to determine the views of the unit chiefs and administrators working at the university on online education and to determine their views on the training provided: 1. What are your views on distance education? (Challenges for management) 2

Summary

Introduction

Since the end of 2019, the type of coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China, has begun to threaten human life. Viner et al [33] stated that there are predictions that these measures may need to be taken for a very long time, and methods should be determined quickly for students to continue their education safely In this context, many countries have carried out distance education activities. Schools are going through a process where ‘school-based management’ forms, in which school components have the say and authority, have come to the fore [5] [7] [27] [36], rather than being units that are only managed and directed by central governments In many studies, they have evaluated the trainings on a wide range of subjects, from soil/agricultural training to holding on to life in the face of difficulties, within the scope of personal development and health themes, to the question of what kind of training they would add if they were determining the in-service trainings themselves. The list of in-service trainings planned by the human resources in cooperation with the distance education centre is ‘management and leadership’, ‘manager development programme’, ‘stress management’, ‘effective presentation technique’ and ‘time method’
