ABSTRACT
At the end of November 2019, in Wuhan, Central China, a coronavirus called SARS-Cov-2 appeared. This is because, for no apparent reason, people develop pneumonia in December that does not respond to known treatments. There are evidences of human-to-human transmission of the virus, with the fastest spread in mid-January 2020. This challenging situation was the reason for a full lockdown of the whole country. By order of the Rector of the University ‘’Prof. Dr. Assen Zlatarov’’ in this period of complete isolation, students from the Department of Health Care, officially switched to an alternative form of learning-online education. Online education is education that is conducted using the Internet and devices such as computers, laptops, tablets or mobile phones. Different formats can be used during the online education-text, video, audio, graphic images, interactive content, etc.

Purpose:

The research aims to examine the advantages and disadvantages of students during the online education. In the period from 15.03-15.04.2022 between the future health care professionals ‘’Medical assistant’’, ‘’Nurse’’, ‘’Midwife’’ studying at the Faculty of Public Health and Health Care – Burgas. The motives of 74 students ‘’Medical assistant’’-32.9%, ‘’Nurse’’-52,1%, ‘’Midwife’’-15,1% were examined.

Conclusion:

The main advantages of online learning for students and also for teachers are its flexibility and accessibility from anywhere, as well as the access to resources. The main disadvantages are mostly related to the limited opportunities for communication there is no face-to-face communication, and the very mediocrity of communication and its dependence on technological constraints also hinders the normal learning process. Most of the respondents believe that online learning is not able to fully replace the face-to-face learning process. Another difference is that students are relatively more positive about online learning in general, however, a significant part of them believe that in the long term that having such training during their studies will negatively affect the quality of the education they received. In the long term, this factor may have a negative effect on satisfaction with university education in general.
