E-learning Can Reduce the Negative Impact of COVID-19 in Teaching Mathematics

Abstract

Blended learning represents a combination of face-to-face instruction in a classroom and e-learning. In several studies, we proved that it is a suitable method for teaching mathematics at our faculty. However, in a summer term of the academic year 2019/2020, it was not possible to have face-to-face lessons due to a pandemic situation caused by COVID-19. Thus, we have to use only e-learning. In the paper, we compare the results of the students taught by blended learning and e-learning and we prove that e-learning helps to reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 in teaching mathematics. Moreover, we declare that there is no significant difference between the results of daily and external students in the final tests.
