COVID-19 pandemic impact on student achievements

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic created a natural experiment for comparisons in performance during in-person versus synchronous online and hybrid learning mode. We tracked changes in student achievements across the first two years of their engineering studies. The inquiry was conducted on 787 students. Variable information 1. group (year of study commencement): 0 - 2019/2020, 1 - 2020/2021, 2 - 2021/2022 2. nation: 1 - native (Poland), 0 - non-native 3. gender: 1 - male, 0 - female 4. studyoption: 1 - full-time studies, 0 - part-time studies
