Abstract

This article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, specifically from the perspective of university students. The study, which used a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional cohort prospective methodology, was conducted at a public university in Peru and surveyed 190 Anthropology students using an online questionnaire through the QuestionPro survey platform. The results reveal that a large majority of the students surveyed (81.05%) consider traditional in-person education as very important, while 40.53% rate the virtual education received as good. The study also found that students face logistical difficulties such as limited access to technology and having to share their study space with family members. Despite these challenges, a majority of students still reported satisfaction with their teachers' performance in the virtual learning environment. Overall, the article emphasizes the need to continue investigating and improving educational practices in the context of the pandemic. The findings also highlight the importance of considering the experiences and perspectives of students in this process.
