Students’ opinions on online mathematics education, suggestions about improving the quality of education during the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The study aims to determine the students' views on teaching mathematics online and get their suggestions for improvement. The participants were 125 students who study at 25 different departments from different faculties at a private university during the academic year of 2020-2021. The quantitative-qualitative mixed pattern model is utilised in the research. An online form was created in Google Forms and sent to students. In this form, there were some questions regarding their sex, age, departments that they studied in high school, departments they currently enrolled in, and 10 questions related to the research. Participants made many positive and negative opinions about online mathematics education. The answers given by the participants to the questions were examined in separate tables and analyzed according to the departments they graduated from high school (numerical and verbal weighted).
