STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF ONLINE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PANDEMIC.

This paper aims to identify and analyse the perceptions of first year students, majoring in Pedagogy, on online educational communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although students are considered “digital natives”, we were surprised to discover their preference for face-to-face teaching-learning activities as opposed to online teaching-learning in the future. Other significant results cover students’ suggestions regarding online teaching-learning: increasing the number of interactions and detailed explanations of topics / work tasks using Zoom, Google Meet; ensuring the attractiveness of work tasks and courses with the help of games, tests, movies; reducing the number of seminar topics.
