Developing new research methodology for studying learning environment: Covid-19
Abstract
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study is based on existing secondary data and sources which served as a tool for interpreting the results. In order to develop a completely new methodology we first had to compare other already established methods. We then used this newly developed methodology as a baseline for our research.
Findings/Results and conclusions: In order to capture the intended information, we had to adapt the survey questionnaire and add new questions concerned with stress factors, code of conduct for educators and the future of education.
Research limitations/implications: Adopting this new methodology we performed research targeting Slovenian university lecturers, students and student affairs professionals. Our findings can serve other researchers working in the field of education, be it at institutional or national level.
Practical implications: This paper offers a valuable research tool available to other researchers in the region who show interest in conducting similar research in their own environment.
Originality/value: This research is among first attempts to target not only lecturers and students but also student affairs professionals. This approach provides a wider insight into distance learning experience during Covid-19 crisis and offers valuable guidelines on how to manage a similar crisis in the future.
