2020年春季，许多美国学院和大学迅速转向在线教学，并实施社交距离政策，以应对COVID-19疫情。学生们经历了前所未有的破坏他们的人际学术和社交网络由于物理接近的损失。我们利用2020年4月的调查数据进行自我中心网络分析和潜在特征分析，并于2020年9月进行了跟进访谈，以研究疫情对学生人际网络变化的一些即时影响。我们发现，以同事和学术关系为特征的人际网络模式消失了，学生的整体联系数量减少了，他们的网络角色多样性也减少了。结果表明，潜在的同行学术关系的持续减少，这意味着机构人员可能需要特别注意在网上空间的学术联系，并再生学生的学术网络时，校园内的物理空间可能再次被用来支持学习。
In spring 2020, many U.S. colleges and universities rapidly shifted to online instruction and implemented social distancing policies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students experienced unprecedented disruption of their interpersonal academic and social networks due to the loss of physical proximity. We used egocentric network analysis and latent profile analysis with survey data from April 2020 and conducted follow-up interviews in September 2020 to examine some of the pandemic’s immediate effects on student interpersonal network change. We found the disappearance of interpersonal network patterns featuring coworkers and academic ties, as well as reductions in students’ overall number of connections and the role diversity of their networks. Results suggest potential ongoing reduction of peer academic relationships, implying that institutional personnel may need to pay particular attention to academic connections in online spaces and to regenerating students’ academic networks when on-campus physical spaces may again be used to support learning.
