Purpose

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: to describe how Lean methodology can be used, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to enhance the learning experience for non-traditional adult learners (NALs) and to explore attitudes and perceptions of students toward the integration of Lean methodology in online classes.

Design/methodology/approach

Qualitative semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for the study. NALs were invited to participate in 60–75 min semi-structured interviews. These interviews allowed researchers to gain an in-depth understanding of a participant’s experience. A six-step thematic analysis framework was used to conduct the data analysis.

Findings

This paper presents a Lean model that can be implemented in an online medium of instruction. The core concepts of Lean methodology: jidoka, just-in-time, customer-centered approach, team involvement and standardization and how these can be used in online learning have been described in-depth. In total, 40 students participated in the semi-structured interviews. Four themes emerged from the data analysis: work-life balance; lack of standardization; learning online classes and connection to the workplace.

Practical implications

These findings could help academic institutions, instructors and course designers as they work on implementing new teaching and learning strategies for NALs.

Originality/value

There is extremely limited evidence on the usage of Lean methods for NALs in a public health crisis. As academic institutions move to the online medium of instruction to contain public health problems, this project can provide important practical tips to instructors.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间学习在线教育——非传统成人学习者的态度和看法

目的

本文的目的有两个:描述在 COVID-19 大流行期间如何使用精益方法来增强非传统成人学习者 (NAL) 的学习体验,并探讨学生对学习的态度和看法。精益方法论在在线课程中的整合。

设计/方法/方法

定性半结构化访谈用于收集研究数据。NAL 被邀请参加 60-75 分钟的半结构化访谈。这些访谈使研究人员能够深入了解参与者的经历。使用六步专题分析框架进行数据分析。

发现

本文提出了一种可以在在线教学媒介中实施的精益模型。精益方法论的核心概念:jidoka、准时制、以客户为中心的方法、团队参与和标准化以及如何在在线学习中使用这些概念已得到深入描述。共有 40 名学生参加了半结构化访谈。数据分析中出现了四个主题:工作与生活的平衡;缺乏标准化;学习在线课程和与工作场所的联系。

实际影响

这些发现可以帮助学术机构、教师和课程设计者为 NAL 实施新的教学和学习策略。

原创性/价值

关于在公共卫生危机中对 NAL 使用精益方法的证据极其有限。随着学术机构转向在线教学以遏制公共卫生问题,该项目可以为教师提供重要的实用技巧。
