The Covid-19 pandemic forced an immediate switch from the traditional form of education to a remote one, which caused various problems. Comparative studies conducted among students and academic teachers have shown the complexity of the situation and the ambiguity of assessments concerning the effectiveness of the solutions applied. This article presents an analysis of the results of a survey carried out in Q4 of 2021, using own questionnaire, among students from universities in Poland, Hungary and Greece, and a group of attendees of the Adult Education Centre in Finland (N = 769). The presented area of research embraces students’ experiences of distance learning during the first stage of the Covid-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics and tests of the equality of means were used to analyse the students’ opinions in order to check for differences in assessments based on the selected metric characteristics of the respondents. Possible differentiation of opinions due to respondent characteristics such as gender or country of study was also searched for. The study results can be used to develop solutions which can be used to improve the quality of distance learning.

Remote Education during the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Opinion of Students

The information society is a product of the intersection of socio-historical-technological contexts, where the development of science and industry has a global reach. The pervasiveness of new information and communication technologies makes it an essential component of a new civilization, affecting every country in varying degrees. Although this techniques approach is grounded in some truth, it neglects other vital aspects that challenge the idea of an information society that prioritizes human needs. The leading nations have achieved this through active research and development, driven by government involvement and the significant contributions of universities. Furthermore, the collaboration of diverse economic, institutional, social, and civic actors has played an essential role in its advancement. However, constructing and promoting an information society transcends infrastructure. It involves political actions that consider the socio-technological nature of this development and its impact on society and other sectors of activity. The objective of this article is twofold. On the one hand, the study analysed the situation of Algeria and its position in relation to other countries regarding the information society, and the other examined the factors that influence the development of the information society in Algeria, trying to identify the most important ones. Finally, the authors proposed a development strategy in this area. The research thesis was formulated as follows: What are the key variables that have an impact on the development of digitalization and the information society in Algeria? Thus, the regulatory frameworks of the most advanced countries are central to the initiatives aimed at its development. To foster the emergence of an information society in Algeria, solidarity must be strengthened, diversity promoted, and the potential of all citizens catalysed.

The article refers to the topic of the SARS CoV-2 virus pandemic and focuses on the effect of vaccines against this virus. The relation between the administered vaccines and the development of the global pandemic is very pertinent as the problem is being faced by the whole world. The difficulty lies in the fight against the pandemic, which is the cause of the very high death rate due to the virus, and has caused a global economic crisis. Demonstrating patterns and possible anomalies between data on the number of people vaccinated and the course of the disease and the number of deaths is an important factor in raising awareness of the risk of spreading the virus. The methods presented in the second chapter are data agglomeration and the k-means method. The study compared the results obtained in six selected countries from different regions of the world and presented the most important factors influencing the development of the pandemic. The presented methodology was also the basis for a deeper discussion of the factors determining the spread of the virus and can be an introduction to the analysis of time series. At the same time, it enabled the creation of patterns related to the studied phenomenon (for selected countries) defining local factors contributing to the spread of the disease and determining the effectiveness of the vaccines administered in them. The empirical analysis was conducted on the basis of data available in the electronic scientific publication <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://ourworldindata.org/">https://ourworldindata.org/</ext-link>. The visualisations were made in the Tableau program, and the cluster analysis was carried out using the Statistica package.
