COVID-19大流行对各国公共卫生和社会生活的不同方面产生了巨大影响。在越南，全国范围的社交距离要求将传统的面对面学习转变为在线学习至少两个月，这对社会工作教育工作者和学生都带来了重大挑战，因为大多数社会工作课程需要实践和直接互动部分，许多学生获得技术资源的机会有限。这项研究旨在评估越南社会工作专业学生在COVID-19疫情期间对在线课程的即时满意度。越南一所国立大学的186名社会工作专业本科生完成了一项关于Qualtrics的在线调查。结果表明，由于互联网接入质量，学生在参与在线课程时面临多种问题，如连接中断和低质量的声音。虽然不熟悉在线学习，但大多数学生报告说没有重大困难，并为他们的在线学习提供支持。学生对面对面教学的满意度在所有标准上都显着高于在线教学。需要一个长期的战略，以改善互动活动和实践时，在线教学社会工作。
The COVID-19 pandemic has tremendously impacted different aspects of public health and social life across countries. In Vietnam, state-wide social distancing mandate has shifted the traditional face-to-face learning to online learning for at least two months, which created significant challenges for both social work educators and students, given the fact that most social work courses require the practice and direct interaction components, and many students have limited access to technology resources. This study aims to assess the level of immediate satisfaction of Vietnamese social work students with online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 186 undergraduate-level social work students in a national univeristy in Vietnam completed an online survey on Qualtrics. The results show that students faced multiple problems with their participation in online courses due to the Internet access quality, such as disrupted connection and low-quality sound. Although being unfamiliar with online learning, most students reported no major difficulty, and having support available for their online learning. Students' level of satisfaction with face-to-face teaching was significantly higher than that of online teaching on all criteria. A long-term strategy is needed to improve interactive activities and practices when teaching social work online.
