Experiences of interactions between university students and their professors as part of online education during the pandemic
Main Article Content
Abstract
(analytical)
The Covid-19 pandemic posed major challenges for students and professors in terms of online education.
This study, which used a phenomenological-hermeneutic method, analyzed professor-student
interactions that occurred as part of remote learning during this period. The collection techniques included semi-structured interviews and a focus group. A total of 29 people participated (professors and students from different universities, programs and academic levels). The researchers established three categories for these experiences: sensorial (vision and touch), cognitive (knowledge) and ethical (faces). Both students' and professors' experiences of space were affected by online education, as this concept was limited by their computer's peripheral devices and the inadequate learning environment. Consequently, this situation affected professor-student interactions. The results of the study aimed to answer questions about participants' experiences of professor-student interactions within online education during the pandemic.
Keywords: Education; university students; experience; university professors; pandemic.
