Abstract

Distance learning at undergraduate level has not been applied in Greek Higher Education Institutions so far. However, during the quarantine period due to corona virus pandemic, distance learning by the use of online platforms was applied for the semester continuation. On this occasion, a mixed-methods research was conducted aiming at exploring students’ motivation, learning strategies and Critical Thinking skills. In particular, the research focused on students’ potential to develop their Critical Thinking skills in the context of the course “Teaching Methodology”, since due to distance learning they would have been offered the chance for student-centered instruction according to the push model of teaching. Slideshows, pictures conveying underlying messages, scenarios, case studies of unexpected events and search through various online and printed sources were used in order to promote Critical Thinking skills. Two questionnaires with close- and open-ended questions were administered to 45 participants regarding their opinions before and after the course completion. According to the results, participants seem to have developed particular CT skills while their answers offer further insights regarding the teaching process during distance learning.
