Abstract

Turkish higher education system experienced a rapid shift to online education due to the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020. The present study aims at identifying countrywide variations in online education applications at the aggregate level with the help of a large survey conducted with over 13 thousand participants registered in Turkish universities. Findings are presented in a structured framework aiming to distinguish student-, faculty member-, and institution-related factors that would presumably drive students’ satisfaction of online education during the pandemic. Preliminary results of multiple regression analysis in support of findings are complementarily supplemented in Appendix. Investigation of these factors provides important policy suggestions to higher education affiliates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
