In collaboration with Amalía Björnsdóttir and Þuríður Jóhannsdóttir, professors at the School of Education, the Student Council presents a survey on students’ experience at the University of Iceland during COVID-19 in the school year 2020–2021. The aim is to continue to monitor the experience and progress of students at the University of Iceland as COVID-19 continues to disrupt traditional learning and teaching.

Questions are related to the epidemic and how changed teaching arrangements have affected learning, finances, and students’ well-being. At the end of the questionnaire, there are some questions about the summer ahead, whether students have found jobs and are interested in summer studies. Participation is very important for us to protect the interests of all students in the best way possible. We ask that you complete the survey by April 28th.

There is no obligation to answer the questionnaire and those who do may choose to omit individual questions as they see fit. The data received during this study will not be cross-referenced with any other databases or datasets.

For further information about the survey please contact the person in charge, Amalía Björnsdóttir, professor, School of Education, University of Iceland, amaliabj@hi.is. The co-researcher is Þuríður Jóhannsdóttir, Professor, School of Education, University of Iceland, thuridur@hi.is. 

Last spring, Amalía and Þuríður sent out a survey to all students at the University of Iceland in collaboration with the Division of Academic Affairs to examine students’ experiences during COVID-19. The results have been published in a report and in Tímarit Kennslumiðstöðvar HÍ.
