Abstract:

The publication includes a theoretical part that describes in a synthetic way selected subjective factors determining the development of  self-study skills in the online environment, and a practical part, which focuses on the analysis of the results of a survey conducted among students of Krakow universities.

The study was conducted using a compiled questionnaire after the first year of crisis education at the end of the summer semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. The survey form was sent to the respondents using the CAWI (computer-assisted web interview) technique using the Google Forms application. In the study participated 825 people. The respondents voluntarily and anonymously expressed their opinion on: active participation in the learning process, internal motivation and commitment, discipline and determination in organizing time for learning, the level of self-management and time management skills as well as attitude to remote study during and after the pandemic finished. The statistical analysis of the collected results was performed with the use of the Statistica PL 13.3 package.

The purpose of this study is therefore an attempt to determine whether, in the opinion of the surveyed students, remote study during crisis education was conducive to the development of their self-learning skills, from the point of view of subjective factors. In addition, the study presents recommendations for the improvement of the process of independent self-study in the online environment.
