1. Gebrauch der Online-Tools und Apps beim DaF-Unterricht : MagisterarbeitAna Vok, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Die Magisterarbeit mit dem Titel „Gebrauch der Online-Tools und Apps beim DaF-Unterricht“ ist in einen theoretischen und einen empirischen Teil aufgeteilt. Im theoretischen Teil wird auf der Grundlage der analysierten Quellen die Digitalisierung und ihr Einfluss während der Covid-19-Pandemie beschrieben. Des Weiteren werden die Folgen der Digitalisierung nach der Covid-19-Pandemie in den Schulen erläutert. Dabei ist es entscheidend, dass Lehrer über digitale Kompetenzen für den Einsatz digitaler Medien verfügen. Im Weiteren werden die Begriffe M- und E-Learning mit den Online-Tools und Apps verbunden. Diese sind wichtig für das Fremdsprachenlernen, weshalb der Fokus auf dem DaF-Unterricht liegt. Es wird ermittelt, welche Kategorien von Online-Tools und Apps es gibt und wie sie in den DaF-Unterricht integriert werden können. Dabei wird erläutert, welche Kriterien für den Gebrauch von Online-Tools und Apps Lehrer beim Unterricht berücksichtigt werden müssen und welche Vor- und Nachteile beachtet werden sollen. Im empirischen Teil erfolgt die Analyse zweier Umfragen, an denen 81 Deutschlehrer und 127 Mittelschüler teilnahmen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Analyse der Kompetenzen, der Häufigkeit und die Bereiche der Gebrauchs sowie die Vorteile und Hindernisse.

2. Changes in online distance learning behaviour of university students during the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, and development of the model of forced distance online learning preferencesMateja Ploj Virtič, Kosta Dolenc, Andrej Šorgo, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Because of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, most universities were forced to choose Online Distance Learning (ODL). The study aimed to examine the response of university students to the new situation. A questionnaire was sent to the entire university student population. Based on responses from 606 students, it was revealed that use of all applications in ODL increased. However, only the use of MS Teams increased significantly, while the use of the other applications (email, Moodle, e-textbooks) increased in a range of low to medium in terms of effect sizes, and even nonsignificant for applications such as Padlet and Kahoot. Based on the replies of 414 respondents, a Model of Forced Distance Online Learning Preferences (MoFDOLP) based on Structural Equation Modeling was developed. With a chosen combination of predictors, we succeeded in predicting 95% of variance for Satisfaction, more than 50% for Continuance Preferences variance in MS Teams applications, and nearly 20% in the case of e-materials. Among hypothesized constructs, only Attitudes are a strong predictor of Satisfaction, while Organizational Support, Perceived Ease of Use and Learner Attitude toward Online Learning are not. Satisfaction is a good predictor of Continuance Preferences to use Information Technology after the lockdown ended.

3. The views and perceived experiences of prospective primary and subject teachers on forced remote education during the second COVID-19 lockdownKosta Dolenc, Mateja Ploj Virtič, Andrej Šorgo, 2023, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, university students and teachers had to adapt to distance learning during the closures. To better understand the student experience during the second closure, a study was conducted at the University of Maribor, Slovenia. The study aimed to analyze the views and experiences of 244 prospective primary and secondary teachers from three faculties. The study found that students had a higher workload during the closure, resulting in a preference for synchronous forms of online education over asynchronous ones. Despite this, students generally had positive experiences with their teachers, except for lack of spontaneous discussions. They also missed the social interactions with their classmates, which highlights the importance of the social dimension of education. Additionally, students were expected to participate in domestic activities, which could have mixed impacts on their educational outcomes. In summary, the student experiences with online distance learning were mixed, positively impacting quality of life but not necessarily on the quality of schooling. The findings can serve as a guide for organizing study programs or courses for prospective teachers in online distance education.

4. The psychological science accelerator’s COVID-19 rapid-response datasetErin M. Buchanan, Saša Zorjan, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Psychological Science Accelerator coordinated three large-scale psychological studies to examine the efects of loss-gain framing, cognitive reappraisals, and autonomy framing manipulations on behavioral intentions and afective measures. The data collected (April to October 2020) included specifc measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining health prevention behaviors and COVID-19 experience, geographical and cultural context characterization, and demographic information for each participant. Each participant started the study with the same general questions and then was randomized to complete either one longer experiment or two shorter experiments. Data were provided by 73,223 participants with varying completion rates. Participants completed the survey from 111 geopolitical regions in 44 unique languages/ dialects. The anonymized dataset described here is provided in both raw and processed formats to facilitate re-use and further analyses. The dataset ofers secondary analytic opportunities to explore coping, framing, and self-determination across a diverse, global sample obtained at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be merged with other time-sampled or geographic data.

5. The idea that digital remote learning can happen anytime, anywhere in forced online teacher education is a mythAndrej Šorgo, Mateja Ploj Virtič, Kosta Dolenc, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: An involuntary international experiment in which the entire student population was switched to digital remote learning due to the measures to stop COVID-19 put the paradigm of "anytime, anywhere learning" to the test. Online survey responses were obtained from 281 preservice primary and subject teachers. Using Structural Equation Modelling, connections were examined by inspection of path coefcients between constructs quality of personal digital technology, satisfaction, health, well-being, motivation, and physical activity. Problems with the quality of personal digital technology had a moderate infuence on all constructs except motivation. Satisfaction infuenced all constructs, well-being, and health the most. When comparing responses of the bottom and top third students based on the quality of personal digital technology, it was found that students who did not have the appropriate technology and workspace were less satisfed and sufered more. This is refected in an increased incidence of problems related to health, well-being, and physical activity, along with a decrease in motivation. At least for the technologically deprived, the paradigm of "anytime, anywhere learning" is a myth. The study highlights the need for educational institutions to provide adequate technology and workspaces for all students in order to support their well-being and motivation during remote learning.

6. What is worth retaining from the COVID-19 experience on remote online education in the prospective teacher education?Mateja Ploj Virtič, Kosta Dolenc, Andrej Šorgo, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the educational landscape, including the training of prospective teachers. This study explores prospective teachers' experiences of transitioning to online distance education (ODE) and their intentions regarding the preferred teaching scenarios they wish to use in their future in-service practice. In the sample of 281 prospective teachers, we found interesting results: (a) smartphones offer very limited opportunities for active participation in ODE; (b) connectivity is the weakest point in ODE; (c) personal digital infrastructure and study conditions influence intention to choose teaching scenarios in ODE, when in the role of teacher, while group size does not. We can safely assume that online distance education will survive in some educational pockets but due to numerous limitations, it will not become a dominant current in teacher education.

8. Foreign language teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic : differences in students' attitudes towards the online LSP course. The case of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and SecurityEva Podovšovnik, Tilen Smajla, 2022, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analysis of the attitudes of students of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security at the University of Maribor (FVV UM) towards the use of distance learning tools in their language for specific purposes (LSP) course. Our aim was to investigate the students' experience with LSP distance learning tools by focusing on the impact of different language teaching methods on the respondents' attitudes towards LSP distance learning tools, on the students' and professors' perceptions regarding the use of digital tools for online learning and the professors' ability to adapt their teaching methods to online learning. The results were as follows: there were no major differences in attitudes regarding the students' gender, the students have proven to have sufficient knowledge of the use of digital tools, the professors have proven to have sufficient knowledge of the use of digital tools and are able to adapt them accordingly, although the perceptions of students regarding the adaptations made by the professors differed significantly from those of the professors. Consequently, a more informed choice of teaching methods and approaches should be made that would ensure better learning outcomes also in the case of online teaching.

9. Women in Need The Nature of Social Support in an Online Community : The Nature of Social Support in an Online CommunityVanja Ida Erčulj, Tinkara Pavšič Mrevlje, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Some women, especially victims of violence, seek support in online groups. The objective of this research was to investigate the nature of the social support women receive in such online communities. For this purpose, all the posts from a large online support community group for women in Slovenia, Women in Need, from 2002 to the end of 2020 were retrieved and analyzed manually as well as by using a text-mining approach. The results show that women in the investigated community mostly seek informational support, spend little time actively contributing to online discussions, and rarely become engaged members of supportive groups within the focal online space. Some recommendations on how to improve the functionality of online social support sites are provided.

10. Storitve videa na zahtevo in digitalno video piratstvo : magistrsko deloBrina Žvar, 2023, master's thesis Abstract: V magistrskem delu predstavljamo video na zahtevo in digitalno video piratstvo ter množičnost uporabe enega in drugega. Proučujemo ekonomski pomen digitalnega piratstva v filmski in televizijski industriji. Z analizo študij in opravljene ankete raziskujemo morebitni upad uporabe piratskih spletnih strani za dostop do video vsebin zaradi razširjenosti legalnih storitev videa na zahtevo. Ugotavljamo, da je uporaba tovrstnih spletnih strani upadla, vendar pa določen delež anketirancev še vedno dostopa do video vsebin na teh straneh, predvsem v primerih, ko v katalogu storitve, na katero so naročeni, ne najdejo želene vsebine.
