Original language description

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes - a financial crisis, many changes of companies’ directions of business and big changes in education. Almost all school levels had to switch to online teaching. It was a hard situation for teachers and students/pupils too. That meant many changes in the style of teaching, assessments, and work with students. In this paper, the authors describe some of these changes. The aim of the research was to get feedback on implemented teaching at the university during a pandemic COVID-19. The research part of the paper is focused to evaluation and experiences of students during this “new” approach to education. The research tool was a self-designed questionnaire and it was realized online via MS Forms platform. There were 15 items with a choice of answers or with 4 Likert-scale. One question was with open answer. Respondents were students of two universities – Palacký University Olomouc (Faculty of Education) and Moravian Business College Olomouc in parttime study and full-time study. There were respondents of study field Teacher training for primary schools and Teacher training for primary schools with special pedagogy at Palacký University. There were respondents of study field Economics and Management at Moravian Business College Olomouc. The research sample was divided into two groups, whose statements has been mutually compares regard to the evaluation of online learning during a pandemic COVID-19. The first group consisted of future teachers, the second group consisted of future managers, economists, and businessmen. The questionnaire was focus on several topics according to education (students’ preferences online or fulltime education, the benefits and losses during online education, etc.) To obtain a comprehensive preparation were some items aimed to online additional study resources, which were used by the students. The paper compares similarities, differences, and opinions of these two groups of students. It can be summarized that the both groups found some advantages in online teaching, but the loss of social contact was a frequent argument against online education. Based on the obtained data, it is possible to innovate and improve undergraduate preparation at universities towards the specific requirements of different groups of students.
