dc.description.abstract | In Finland, online learning has become more common in recent years. In this
study, we examined why adult students chose to study online for upper secondary
school. The research also focused on the support needed for learning from a special
education perspective. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using an
electronic questionnaire. In total, 58 students responded. Data were analyzed
qualitatively using the content analysis technique. The findings indicate that the main
reasons for online studies are similar in Finland to those found internationally:
flexibility of timetables, the student’s health condition, and family situations. The
findings also indicate that a student’s school history leads them to choose online
studies. This history included a lack of support, health issues, bullying, and too large
class size. Suggested future research and practical implications also are discussed. | en |
