Evaluation of Attendance at the Glossary Activity in a Technically Oriented E-Learning Course

During the COVID-19 pandemic, online education became increasingly attractive once again. This was mainly due to the fact that, during the peak of the current epidemic, schools at various levels were closed. To enable pupils and students to continue their studies, teaching was transferred to a safer online space. In this paper, we focus on the use of the Dictionary of Foreign Technical Terms (ENG-SLO) activity to determine the extent to which participants need this dictionary to explain unfamiliar technical terms. To obtain relevant results using this activity, we decided to test the frequency of its use (visits) and rank each participant according to the resulting evaluation. As the experiment was conducted in vocational high schools, we kept the familiar rating scale of these schools, ranging from one to five, where 1 is the best rating and 5 the worst, indicating a failure. The results indicate that above-average use was recorded among participants who failed and those who scored 4, while the other scoring groups used the glossary activity rather below average.

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, online education became increasingly attractive once again. This was mainly due to the fact that, during the peak of the current epidemic, schools at various levels were closed. To enable pupils and students to continue their studies, teaching was transferred to a safer online space. In this paper, we focus on the use of the Dictionary of Foreign Technical Terms (ENG-SLO) activity to determine the extent to which participants need this dictionary to explain unfamiliar technical terms. To obtain relevant results using this activity, we decided to test the frequency of its use (visits) and rank each participant according to the resulting evaluation. As the experiment was conducted in vocational high schools, we kept the familiar rating scale of these schools, ranging from one to five, where 1 is the best rating and 5 the worst, indicating a failure. The results indicate that above-average use was recorded among participants who failed and those who scored 4, while the other scoring groups used the glossary activity rather below average.
