Abstract
This study evaluated college students' virtual academic experience due to COVID-19. Based on Colaizzi's analysis method, data from advanced interviews with 15 students were analyzed. The results were as follows. The participants showed a desire for eye-level learning, frustration on unsatisfactory academic factors, gratefulness for the factors that enhance academic satisfaction, lonely fight with the shortcomings of online lectures, and the factors predicted by COVID-19, and aim to seek balance through health care. Based on the results, the students should be prepared to learn at an appropriate academic level. Second, the change should be sought to increase delivery and concentration in class. Third, students are motivated by the professor's efforts to communicate in class and their sincerity and passion. Fourth, cooperation between professors and learners is needed to develop a sympathetic and supportive classroom atmosphere. Fifth, until the cessation of COVID-19, the principle of virtual education should persist unless there are exceptional circumstances. These results, which suggested specific ways to increase satisfaction with virtual learning lectures, can be used as basic data for establishing effective virtual teaching directions.
