Covid-19 has brought surprises in the educational landscape. Educational institutions had to hurriedly migrate all teaching, learning and assessment activities to online platforms. Such was the case of adult learners who had signed on to the access course for entrance into the University of Ghana. This study sought to find out how the e-learning experiences of adult learners differed across gender as they studied English language, Logic and Mathematics online. From a quantitative analysis of the data, the online experience of students with regard to Mathematics learning did not differ along gender lines. Therefore, the experiences of males and females were similar. Though, there were differences across gender groups regarding Logic and English language experiences, those of Logic experience were much bigger, where males provided overall more positive ratings than females. Specifically, for Logic experience, instructors’ show of respect to students, understanding of the learning needs of students and effective communication were rated generally better among males than females. Going forward, Logic instructors should pay equal attention to both groups irrespective of their gender to identify their learning needs and support them accordingly. Furthermore, all the instructors irrespective of their course could continue to improve their delivery of the courses as well as their relationships with the students in order to enhance future experience of the students.

Covid-19 爆发期间成年人的电子学习体验:性别的调节作用

Covid-19 给教育领域带来了惊喜。教育机构不得不赶紧将所有的教学、学习和评估活动转移到在线平台上。签署了进入加纳大学的入门课程的成人学习者就是这种情况。本研究旨在了解成人学习者在线学习英语语言、逻辑和数学时,其电子学习体验如何因性别而异。从数据的定量分析来看,学生在数学学习方面的在线体验没有性别差异。因此,男性和女性的经历是相似的。尽管在逻辑和英语语言经验方面,性别群体之间存在差异,但逻辑经验的差异要大得多,总体而言,男性的正面评价高于女性。具体而言,在逻辑经验方面,教师对学生的尊重、对学生学习需求的理解和有效沟通在男性中普遍优于女性。展望未来,逻辑教师应同等关注这两个群体,无论其性别如何,以确定他们的学习需求并相应地支持他们。此外,所有教师,无论其课程如何,都可以继续改进他们的课程授课以及他们与学生的关系,以增强学生未来的体验。男性对学生学习需要的理解和有效沟通的评价普遍高于女性。展望未来,逻辑教师应同等关注两个群体,无论其性别如何,以确定他们的学习需求并相应地支持他们。此外,所有教师,无论其课程如何,都可以继续改进他们的课程授课以及他们与学生的关系,以增强学生未来的体验。男性对学生学习需要的理解和有效沟通的评价普遍高于女性。展望未来,逻辑教师应同等关注两个群体,无论其性别如何,以确定他们的学习需求并相应地支持他们。此外,所有教师,无论其课程如何,都可以继续改进他们的课程授课以及他们与学生的关系,以增强学生未来的体验。
