Comparing the perception of emergency remote teaching experience between physics and nonphysics students

A significant proportion of universities throughout the world switched from conventional face-to-face course delivery to emergency remote teaching (ERT) in response pervasive COVID-19 outbreak. series challenges are faced by both teachers and students as a result rapid abrupt switch ERT. Within context ERT, physics courses encounter certain contrast liberal arts courses. In particular, this study sought determine whether nonphysics had diverse levels flow experience cognitive load when applying ERT during global pandemic period. Furthermore, examined for varied depending on gender educational level. Following completion their at end Spring semester 2020 Fall 2022, total 1073 participants, including majors majors, participated our research. From result, better performance encompassing its three constructs: enjoyment, engagement, control. Physics demonstrated higher germane lower extraneous compared students. Moreover, considerably was observed among male than female counterparts Nonetheless, undergraduate graduate did not significantly differ experiences or load. Overall, more positive perception learning experience, impact less detrimental.Received 15 July 2023Accepted 16 August 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevPhysEducRes.19.020131Published American Physical Society under terms Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
