This is evident from a tour of the NOS. The universities hope that next academic year the lecture halls will be fuller. – Due to corona, students in higher education have mainly followed distance education in recent years. In February, the maximum group size in education expired and all students could come to the university. – Still, some of the students stayed away. Lectures were in many cases also offered online after the lifting of the restrictive measures. Some of the students continued to use this out of convenience or necessity. – ‘Social process’ Radboud University emphasizes the importance of physical education. According to the university, studying is a social process in which students learn from and through each other. Physical education contributes to this, in addition to online education. – The universities that indicate that fewer students are physically coming to lectures aim to improve this coming academic year. – Tilburg University hopes that mixed education will encourage students to come to campus. In addition to the online education that is offered, education on campus must be activating and in-depth. – The option for lecturers to only offer a course physically is a way of getting more students to return at Utrecht University. It is not a general policy at the educational institution. – Other image Not all universities recognize that the lecture benches remain partly empty. For example, the phenomenon hardly ever occurs at the Technical University in Delft. A lot of practical training is offered at the institution, with a high turnout and in some cases also compulsory. – At the VU University Amsterdam, they see that scaling down online education means that students are able to find their way back to the campus. Lecturers also make an effort to make students aware of the added value of education on campus. – It is unclear whether the reduced attendance of students has an influence on the study results. — Related posts:Former US President Trump Arrives in New York for Historic Court Appearance on Fraud Chargesmore than €86,000 in banknotes seized by Dijon customsin Poitou, wave of conventional ruptures at Gifi among the ex-Alinéa de PoitiersSuper Bowl: The NFL's big European plansShare this:FacebookX Related 15 Ways to Save Battery on Android and iPhone Cellphones to Last Long Luc Appermont and Bart Kaëll show their dream villa in Spain for the first time: “We’ve been looking for this for years” | showbiz Leave a Comment Cancel replyCommentName Email Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
