Main Article Content
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on teaching, but also on the learning experience of students in all areas. The situation that has arisen because of the pandemic has imposed unique challenges of maintaining the didactic process and required, as a solution, the introduction of urgent remote teaching. Surveying satisfaction with online teaching is an important aspect of promoting successful educational processes. The aim of this research was to identify the factors that influenced the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of Romanian language and literature students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb with conducting classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online questionnaire was designed for the purpose of this research. The majority of students involved in online learning during the pandemic responded to the invitation to fill out the questionnaire. The results of the research show that the students had several difficulties with the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as problems with technology, problems with time management and with the balance between private life and education. Despite all the difficulties mentioned, the results also show that the majority of the surveyed students are satisfied with the online learning experience.
