Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the education management system of the Technical and Vocational University or Samyad in virtual education during the Covid-19 pandemic and to study its harmful effects. Due to the limited data required by different centers during this pandemic and the nascent field of virtual education, an attempt was made to make a comparison between the impact of face-to-face and virtual education on faculty staff and students. The present research used a descriptive research method in the form of a survey carried out by creating a questionnaire and reviewing 21 variables. Issues such as students' access to high-speed internet, the adaptability of professors and the use of an appropriate online education system were identified and questions based on the scaling and size of these factors were examined in a questionnaire. In addition, in calculating Cronbach's alpha number, the value of 0.962 was obtained for all 21 questions. In this study, both parametric and non-parametric correlation tests were used for all statistical calculations required to show the willingness of students to continue their education in virtual or face-to-face classes. The statistical population included 642 students of all disciplines at Shamsipour University in Tehran.
