Abstract

The study employed a qualitative research approach and emancipatory framework to explore students’ experiences with blended learning and emergency remote online learning (EROL). Two data sets were collected from two projects using focus group discussions and semi-structured individual interviews. The findings highlighted that although technological advancement in universities increased access to information, the needs of the disadvantaged students remain overlooked. EROL and/or blended learning adopted by the universities did not address the fundamentals of access to teaching and learning for the disadvantaged, but focused on institutional needs and saving the academic year. The utilisation of blended learning prior to COVID-19 was excluding some students, and it was unclear how EROL was transformed to ensure that all students accessed education during COVID-19 induced lockdowns. There is thus a need for research to focus on opportunities for student technological advancement not only for ensuring access to education but also for meaningful service delivery during practice. Keywords: blended learning, COVID-19, online learning, social work and students

探索社会工作专业学生在COVID-19大流行之前和期间使用混合学习和紧急远程在线学习的经验
本研究采用质性研究方法和解放式框架,探讨学生在混合学习和紧急远程在线学习(EROL)中的体验。通过焦点小组讨论和半结构化的个人访谈,从两个项目中收集了两个数据集。研究结果强调,虽然大学的技术进步增加了获取信息的机会,但弱势学生的需求仍然被忽视。各大学采用的EROL和/或混合式学习并没有解决弱势群体获得教学和学习的基本问题,而是侧重于机构需求和节省学年。在2019冠状病毒病之前,混合式学习的使用排除了一些学生,目前尚不清楚如何转变EROL以确保所有学生在2019冠状病毒病导致的封锁期间接受教育。因此,研究需要关注学生技术进步的机会,不仅是为了确保获得教育,而且是为了在实践中提供有意义的服务。关键词:混合式学习,COVID-19,在线学习,社会工作,学生
