Abstract

The current study investigated how ready higher education students were for emergency remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic and how this influenced their socio-emotional perceptions. Results of N = 1,826 higher education students indicate that they seem to be ready for digital learning. A k-means cluster analysis revealed two groups of students that significantly differed with respect to their readiness for digital learning (in terms of technology equipment availability, prior experiences with e-learning, and skills for digital learning). Finally, students’ socio-emotional perceptions, that is, stress-related emotions (worries, tension, joy, and overload) as well as social and emotional loneliness significantly differed due to cluster membership. Hence, the study points a need for support of higher education students in successfully coping with the challenges of emergency remote studying.

摘要

目前的研究调查了由于 COVID-19 大流行，高等教育学生对紧急远程教学的准备情况，以及这如何影响他们的社会情感感知。N = 1,826 名高等教育学生的结果 表明，他们似乎已经为数字学习做好了准备。甲_-均值聚类分析揭示了两组学生，他们在数字学习准备方面存在显着差异（在技术设备可用性、电子学习的先前经验和数字学习技能方面）。最后，学生的社会情绪感知，即与压力相关的情绪（担忧、紧张、快乐和超负荷）以及社交和情绪孤独感因集群成员身份而显着不同。因此，该研究指出需要支持高等教育学生成功应对紧急远程学习的挑战。
