description | PURPOSE: İn line with the objective of this special issue to unveil the challenges, opportunities, experiences, and perspectives of learners while they engage with technology during the global pandemic especially in a broader context, this study decides to examine their perceptions on the use of technology-based learning environments during the post covid semesters. This is on the premise that understanding the learners perceptions on using technology for learning after the pandemic unpacks numerous success and challenges which is essential in making propositions that would enhance learners' digital experience and while steering educational policy to the appropriate direction. DESIGN: To achieve this, a mixed-method research design was adopted for this study and 36 participants were purposively selected. Semi-structured interview questions and a 5 point Likert-type questionnaire were used to collect information from the participants on their perceptions on using technology-based instruction during the post-pandemic semesters. FINDINGS: Based on the data that was collected and analyzed, the study unveiled that though technology was perceived to enhance learning among the learners, it significantly creates boredom when used for educational purposes. Other novel findings of this study were instrumental in making valid empirical conclusions on this topic. ORIGINALITY: This study adds to the corpus of studies showing learners' experiences and perspectives on the use of technology for learning during the post-pandemic semester. The study is a starting point for more discussions on the need for developing learner-friendly technologies for better learning experiences among learners. |
