目的本文旨在调查COVID-19对高等教育机构学生在运动控制令（MCO）之前和期间的影响。MCO于2020年3月推出，学习过程必须从面对面转向学校和大学的在线学习。本研究以大学生为研究对象，分析了大学生的学习动机、探究共同体和学习成绩。本研究从社会存在、认知存在和教学存在三个方面考察了探究共同体的构建。设计/方法/途径本文对学生的学习动机、探究共同体和学习绩效进行了定量分析和配对样本t检验。本文通过对282名大学生在线学习偏好的调查分析，探讨了大学生在线学习偏好在MCO前后是否存在显著性差异。研究限制/影响本研究有助于探索管理这种流行病所需的改进措施，以支持教师和学生。实际影响COVID-19是一种影响学生学习过程的流行病，即使它已经结束，也不应该被忽视。政策制定者应考虑提供更多的培训和更好的基础设施，以满足互联网连接顺畅和在线学习平台的需要。学生无法专注于使用在线学习方法进行学习，并且在疫情期间缺乏动力。社会意义通过对学生的学习动机、探究社区和学习表现的详细分析，有助于促进更好的教育环境。独创性/价值这是第一次研究疫情期间的学习动机和表现模式以及探究社区。很明显，大学生在大流行之前最初有很高的动力和探究社区，但在MCO期间显著下降。该文件介绍了COVID-19如何严重影响学习体验。
PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the students studying in higher education institutions pre and during Movement Control Order (MCO). MCO was introduced in March 2020, and the learning process must switch from face-to-face to online learning in schools and universities. This study particularly focuses on university students by analyzing the students' motivation, the community of inquiry and learning performance. In total, three factors are examined in the construct of the community of inquiry, namely social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence.Design/methodology/approachThis paper provides quantitative analysis and paired sample t-tests on the students' learning motivation, the community of inquiry and learning performance. This paper presents the analysis of the online learning preference of 282 university students and examines whether there is significant difference in preference before and during MCO.FindingsThe findings indicated that the students lost motivation and learning performance using online learning methods during the MCO period. There is a lack of infrastructure to support the learning and social support from the lecturers and peers.Research limitations/implicationsThis research helps to explore improvements that are needed to manage such a pandemic to support teaching staff and students.Practical implicationsThe COVID-19 is a pandemic that has affected the learning process of the students, and it should not be neglected even when it is over. Policymakers shall consider providing more training and better infrastructures to cater to smooth Internet connection and platform for online learning. Students are not able to focus on learning using online learning methods and, they lack motivation during the pandemic. The teaching faculty also need to be well-trained in delivering online courses and to be more tech-savvy.Social implicationsWith the detailed analysis of the students' learning motivation, the community of inquiry and learning performance, it helps to promote a better education environment.Originality/valueThis is the first study to examine the learning motivation and performance model as well as the community of inquiry during the pandemic. It is evident that university students initially have a high level of motivation and community of inquiry before the pandemic but yield a significant drop during the MCO. The paper presented how COVID-19 seriously impacted on the learning experience.
