University students' experience with mobile learning during COVID-19 pandemic

Original language description

The study focuses on mobile learning at universities, with emphasis on the changes brought by the quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic (the first and the second wave) in which only distance education was possible. The participant sample consisted of Slovak university students (N = 48; age 20-25 in 2020 and N = 45; age 20-25 in 2021). Qualitative design and narrative method were chosen to find out the individuals&apos; experience of concrete events embedded in a socio-cultural context. The data was analyzed using a holistic-content perspective in combination with a thematic analysis. The results showed the key moments linked to the university students&apos; experience in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: nostalgia, shock - sudden change, and adaptation. In the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the key moments were: nostalgia, uncertainty, and short-term planning. The important phases for the sustainability of m-learning were related to the comparison between nostalgia, the recovery from the shock after a sudden change in lifestyle, and the adaptation to new living conditions. This was reflected in the key topics focused on the main phases, with an accent on life enjoyment, self-centring, and stress before the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper fulfills the gap in the research focused on understanding students&apos; feelings, attitudes, values, and use of m-learning during forced distance education. Qualitative design research allowed going deeper into students&quot;&quot; psychological aspects during national quarantine. The results allow us to prepare the universities and state policies on working with students during future crises and emphasize sustainable mobile learning.
