ABSTRACT
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, educators around the world suddenly shifted to online teaching., In 2021, we presented research on the impact of this new professional reality on the vocal load of Saint Petersburg State University professors. The online synchronous teaching caused the significant increase in the vocal fatigue in university professors in comparison with the prepandemic studies. We continued our study during the postpandemic semester (winter-spring 2022). The goal of this study was to find out whether adaptation mechanisms during the pandemic period were developed to adjust to the different types of teaching modes. The acoustic and clinical data from the pre/post comparative study are now presented.
ABSTRACT
A new process has been brought about due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the world. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since the spring semester of the 2019–2020 academic year, all education and courses are provided through distance education. Therefore, since distance education is a new process for many, faculty members may encounter various problems. For this reason, deter-mining the views of lecturers about the distance education process is important for the improvement and development of the distance education system. The aim of this study is to examine the views of the lecturers who teach through the dis-tance education system and to make suggestions for the improvement of the sys-tem. The situation was determined using the qualitative research method. The re-search questions were prepared by the researchers. Their validity was ensured by taking experts' opinions. For this purpose, interviews with semi-structured ques-tions were conducted with 28 instructors at Cyprus and Russian universities and the data obtained were evaluated by content analysis. The findings obtained as a result of the research are given in detail in the findings and results section.
