AB - Universities are seeking changes in education based on the remote learning experiences they had during the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the declining school-age population. Now that the pandemic is over, university liberal arts education has formed a significant trend of remote learning driven by technological convenience and efficiency. But is this a product of sufficient reflection on the education during the COVID-19 period? A survey and in-depth interviews analyzing the situations faced by students, who went through the pandemic with remote learning, in university in-person classrooms revealed that the biggest challenge students faced was awkward "communication." Professors who mostly teach communication-related courses gave similar answers. In the returning classrooms, students are quieter, more passive, and less responsive to external stimuli than before. It was found that students prefer remote courses like OCU and KCU courses, as well as in-house produced remote lectures, in order to get good grades, while they avoid courses with group activities or discussions in in-person classrooms. However, this leads to difficulties in forming basic communication skills, as well as the intimate relationships needed to implement holistic education in the classroom. Professors are facing similar challenges.
The solution is simple. Before pursuing educational innovations relying on metaverse or artificial intelligence, universities must first understand the students in the classrooms after COVID-19. The ideal of holistic education is not a fragile goal dictated by technology. It is necessary to immediately strengthen the educational effects that arise from opening oneself, imperfect as one is, to an imperfect other. Instead of spending expensive costs to build a virtual plaza because the physical one is outdated, efforts and costs should be directed toward communication classes in the plaza. In the two years post-COVID, universities must respond to the voices of students and professors.
