Background: The aim of the research was to find out how the process of the study course Tourism at the Latvian Academy of Sport Education affects the formation of the students’ attitude towards outdoor life education. Material/Methods: In order to find it out, first of all, we clarified the students’ previous knowledge, understanding of outdoor education, as well as their previous outdoor life experience. The total number of participants was 97 students. Both theoretical and practical classes, as well as a five-day outdoor camp with various outdoor activities were included in the study course Tourism. The method of inquiry was used in the research. Results: The results of the first inquiries showed that students have very small previous outdoor life experience. The study course Tourism helped students develop a positive attitude and at least short-time motivation for the development of further outdoor experience. Conclusions: Research shows that Latvian Academy of Sport Education students’ prior outdoor living experience compared to experiences of other country students, such as Norway, the Czech Republic, or Sweden, is very small. The study course program Tourism increased students outdoor living experience. The course comprised a positive attitude and at least a temporary motivation for further formation of an outdoor experience. However, to ensure long-term motivation, further studies are required

INTRODUCTION: : COVID-19 pandemic obliged teachers and students to quickly move from face-to-face to full elearning education. The attitude can positively influence the use and success of e-learning. The objective was to assess the attitude towards e-learning and its influencing factors among students of pre-professional program. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The design was cross-sectional among health pre-professional female students enrolled at College of Basic Science and Health Profession (COSHP) at King Saud bin Abdul-Aziz University for Health Science (KSAU-HS) in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) between May and September 2021. The data were collected using an online questionnaire. RESULTS: total 92 students were included in analysis. The mean attitude score was 59.9%. The score was higher in students with previous e-learning experience before COVID19 (64.2%±18.8% versus 50.6%±16.6%, p=0.003). The main advantages were “assignments can be submitted on specified deadline” (59.8%), “interaction and communication during classes” (57.6%), and “feedback for assignments and examinations” (55.4%). The main disadvantages were “facing difficulty to focus in home environment” (62.0%), “struggle with internet connection” (59.8%), and “limited assigned time to complete online examinations” (57.6%). Main barriers include “slow internet connectivity” (44.6%) and “lack of teacher and classmates contacts” (38.0%). Suggested improvements included “having access to additional help during courses” (72.8%), “doing interactive activities such as games” (70.7%), and “solving technical problems” (70.7%). Students with higher positive attitude significantly reported less disadvantages/barriers but reported more advantages/improvements. CONCLUSIONS: The current study showed moderately favorable attitude towards e-learning among female students in pre-Medicine/ pre-Applied Medical Science, and pre-Nursing programs. The current finding provide policymaker with a list of required changes from students’ perspective to achieve successful and acceptable learning experience.

WSTĘP: Pandemia COVID-19 zmusiła nauczycieli i uczniów do szybkiego przejścia od bezpośredniego do pełnego e-learningu. Postawy mogą pozytywnie wpłynąć na wykorzystanie i sukces e-learningu. Celem była ocena stosunku do e-learningu i jego wpływy wśród studentów programu przedzawodowego. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Projekt miał charakter przekrojowy wśród studentek zawodów medycznych, zapisanych do College of Basic Science and Health Profession (COSHP) na Uniwersytecie Króla Sauda bin Abdul-Aziza w Health Science (KSAU-HS) w Dżuddzie (Arabia Saudyjska) od maja do września 2021 r. Dane zostały zebrane za pomocą kwestionariusza internetowego. WYNIKI: Do analizy włączono 92 ustudentów. Średnia ocena postawy wyniosła 59,9%. Wynik był wyższy wśród studentów z doświadczeniem e-learningowym przed COVID-19 (64,2%±18,8% w porównaniu z 50,6%±16,6%, p=0,003). Główne zalety to „zadania można składać w określonym terminie” (59,8%), „interakcja i komunikacja na zajęciach” (57,6%) oraz „informacje zwrotne o zadaniach i egzaminach” (55,4%). Głównymi wadami były „trudności z koncentracją w środowisku domowym” (62,0%), „zmagania z połączeniem internetowym” (59,8%) oraz „ograniczony czas przeznaczony na wypełnienie egzaminów online” (57,6%). Główne bariery to „powolny internet” (44,6%) oraz „brak kontaktów z nauczycielem i kolegami z grupy” (38,0%). Uwzględniono sugerowane ulepszenia „dostęp do dodatkowej pomocy na kursach” (72,8%), „wykonywanie interaktywnych czynności, takich jak gry” (70,7%) oraz „rozwiązywanie problemów technicznych” (70,7%). Studenci z wyższym pozytywnym nastawieniem zgłaszali istotnie mniej wad/barier i odnotowano więcej zalet/ulepszeń. WNIOSKI: Badanie wykazało umiarkowanie przychylny stosunek do e-learningu wśród kobiet na kierunku pielęgniarstwo. Obecne odkrycie zapewnia decydent z listą wymaganych zmian z perspektywy studentów, aby osiągnąć udaną i akceptowalną naukę.
