Survey of American College Students 2022, Experience of Distance, Flipped & Blended Learning

This study presents specific data from 1,076 American college students from 4-year colleges about their pandemic experience with distance learning, flipped learning, blended learning, as well as independent study with an instructor, independent study through self-paced web or video programs. The report has detailed data for their use of each of these approaches. In addition, students relate the extent to which they want distance learning and related approaches to be a part of their post-pandemic education experience. In response to an open ended question, they discuss what they most liked and disliked about their distance learning experience during the pandemic. The study helps it readers to identify students most and least interested in distance, blended, flipped and various forms of independent study learning. Just a few of this 141-page report’s many findings are that: Students studying history as a major were the least likely to have taken a distance learning class in the pandemic period. Students with a full time job were also much less likely than other students to have taken a blended learning class; fewer than 40% had done so. 26.19% of students from families of origin earning more than $250,000 per year had taken an independent study course overseen by an instructor during the pandemic. Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.
