This unprecedented move spurred emerging academic literature dealing primarily with the medical aspect of education in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. (Chick et al, 2020; Greenhalgh et al 2020, Keesara et al, 2020; Schwartz et al, 2020) with very little attention to educational implications in other areas such as social sciences. This study aims to fill this gap. \r\nThe aims of this study is to evaluate the impact of transition to remote instruction during Spring Semester 2020 in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students are asked to complete an anonymous survey. The survey includes questions dealing with various adversities that respondents had to endure during the transition and resources that they used in the aftermath of the transition. The goal is to provide recommendation for best policies and practices for remote instruction.

In order learn about their experiences during this transition, I surveyed at the end of the Spring Semester students enrolled in two Political Science (POL) classes. The results showed that majority of students struggled with stress caused by moving away from campus and self-quarantine leading to deteriorating mental and physical health. Concerns about student health along with distraction at home were identified as top adversities for student well-being. Survey results also showed that educational resources can have varying impact on student learning in introductory and upper-level courses. For example, lecture notes, power point presentations and online videos can be better resources for remote instruction in an introductory class, while class meetings via video conferencing platforms can be the preferred resource of instruction in upper-level courses.\r\nBelow is the questionnaire used for this study: \r\n\r\nSurvey Questionnaire: Transition to Remote Instruction During COVID-19 Crisis:\r\nQualtrics Link for POL1080: https://artsciuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd7cF1OF6eNeYBv\r\nQualtrics Link for POL2074: https://artsciuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3xegnXy4LFSC2t7\r\n1.

Getting the students engaged in these classes has been one of the main priorities of the College of Arts and Sciences. This study draws on data from Introduction to International Relations offerings from Fall 2012 to Spring 2018, some of which have used interactive software while others have not used any software. Additionally, some offerings have had an assigned supplemental instructor (IS) while others have not had SI. The overall aim is to evaluate whether these instructional innovations have helped improved student performance in this class. The main hypothesis tested during the study is that availability of SRS technology tends to improve student performance during exams. The secondary hypothesis is that the availability of more advanced (second-generation) student response technology (such as Echo 360) tends to improve students performance in class in comparison to earlier (first-generation) SRS devices (known as “clickers”). \r\n\r\nBackground and significance\r\nThe positive impact of SRS engagement technology on student performance the across different disciplines been well documented in the literature (Marlow et al 2009; Kam and Sommer 2006; Prezler et al 2007 and others). Most of the literature focuses on first generation student response system, also known as clickers (Elliott 2003; Riebens 2007; Crossgove and Curan 2008, Shapiro 2009). Some of the studies focus on the use of this technology without a control group (Beavers 2010; DeBourgh 2008; Kennedy and Cutts 2005; Sprague and Dahl 2010) while others discuss how personal response software impact student performance throughout the whole semester (Evans, 2012). This study differs from existing ones in several ways. First, by collecting data over 5-year period, not only can we compare groups of students using SRS systems with those who don’t but also we can compare offerings using first-generation SRS technology (e.g. the “clickers”) and those using second-generation SRS software (such as Echo 360) that contains more advanced interactive features. Second, the study allows comparison of the SRS impact on different course components and requirements. Third, it evaluates the impact of the student response system in combination with other techniques used in a large classroom such as supplemental instruction or SI. This new setting offers valuable insights about the impact of different types of SRS technology and other interactive techniques designed to engage students in large classrooms.\r\n\r\nApproach and Source of records\r\nRecords for student performance collected throughout the whole semester for each student. Demographic information for the students enrolled in class collected from the course rosters and from the University of Cincinnati’s student information system Catalyst (https://catalyst.uc.edu/). All records are electronic. Those that are not available on Catalyst but are generated as a part of the student performance are currently stored in excel format by the instructor and researcher in an external USB drive which is only accessible to the instructor and PI (same person). No other person has access to the data.\r\n\r\nThe research does not involve the collection of data or other results from individuals that will be submitted to, or held for inspection by, the FDA. No part of the research involves any data that will be provided (in any form) to a pharmaceutical, medical device or biotech company.\r\n"],"license_tesim":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"date_created_tesim":["November 30, 2018"],"related_url_tesim":["http://homepages.uc.edu/~ivanovid/research.htm"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-ff055336041c3f7d310ad69109eda4a887b16ec501f35afc0a547c4adb97ee72.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-depositing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_ids_ssim":["df65v9390","sf268641k","2801ph522"],"file_set_ids_ssim":["df65v9390","sf268641k","2801ph522"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"sort_title_ssi":"IMPACT OF INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE IN INTRO POL COURSES","human_readable_type_tesim":["Dataset"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ivanovid@ucmail.uc.edu"],"nesting_collection__pathnames_ssim":["gb19f710f"],"nesting_collection__deepest_nested_depth_isi":1,"_version_":1697090205813571584,"timestamp":"2021-04-15T07:22:21.909Z","score":0.00049999997}],"facets":[{"name":"human_readable_type_sim","items":[{"value":"Dataset","hits":2,"label":"Dataset"}],"label":"Human Readable Type Sim"},{"name":"creator_sim","items":[{"value":"Ivanov, Ivan","hits":2,"label":"Ivanov, Ivan"}],"label":"Creator Sim"},{"name":"subject_sim","items":[{"value":"COVID-19","hits":1,"label":"COVID-19"},{"value":"Education","hits":1,"label":"Education"},{"value":"Political Science","hits":1,"label":"Political Science"},{"value":"Political Science, Education, Use of technology","hits":1,"label":"Political Science, Education, Use of technology"}],"label":"Subject Sim"},{"name":"college_sim","items":[{"value":"Arts and Sciences","hits":2,"label":"Arts and Sciences"}],"label":"College Sim"},{"name":"department_sim","items":[{"value":"Political Science","hits":2,"label":"Political Science"}],"label":"Department Sim"},{"name":"language_sim","items":[{"value":"English","hits":2,"label":"English"}],"label":"Language Sim"},{"name":"publisher_sim","items":[{"value":"University of Cincinnati","hits":2,"label":"University of Cincinnati"}],"label":"Publisher Sim"},{"name":"date_created_sim","items":[{"value":"2020-05-13","hits":1,"label":"2020-05-13"},{"value":"November 30, 2018","hits":1,"label":"November 30, 2018"}],"label":"Date Created Sim"},{"name":"member_of_collection_ids_ssim","items":[],"label":"Member Of Collection Ids Ssim"},{"name":"generic_type_sim","items":[{"value":"Work","hits":2,"label":"Work"}],"label":"Generic Type Sim"}],"pages":{"current_page":1,"next_page":null,"prev_page":null,"total_pages":1,"limit_value":10,"offset_value":0,"total_count":2,"first_page?":true,"last_page?":true}}}
