The image of distance learning among students

Abstract

This study explores in depth the experiences of Algerian students in the face of the rise of distance learning. In a rapidly changing global educational context, we sought to understand how students perceive this learning modality and whether it effectively meets their needs. Through semi-structured interviews with 20 students, we were able to identify the main challenges they face, notably technical problems and inequalities in access to resources. While the flexibility and autonomy offered by distance learning are appreciated, the need for direct human interactions remains significant. Our results highlight the importance of a hybrid pedagogical approach, combining the advantages of in-person and remote learning, to ensure quality and equitable education.
