Sažetak
This study aimed to examine the COVID-19 effect on distance education in higher
education in the pre-COVID-19 pandemic (January to November 2019) and post-
COVID-19 pandemic periods (December 2019 and January to December 2020). Two
different meta-data sets, consisting of 580 articles for the pre-COVID-19 period and
746 for the post-COVID-19 period, obtained by querying the Web of Science database,
were used for analysis. SciMAT and Vosviewer software were used for bibliometric
analysis. Publications from the two different periods were compared according to
keywords, words from abstracts, based on the criteria using co-occurrence and co-word
analysis. The results of the keyword co-occurrence analysis show that the keywords
“e-learning” and “online learning” were used more in the post-COVID-19 period
compared to the pre-pandemic period. In the pre-pandemic period, the thematic
trend of academic studies largely aligned with students and satisfaction. However,
in the post-pandemic period, the research trend was mostly toward such themes as
video lectures and web 2.0 technologies. The research results show that the impact of
COVID-19 was reflected in the research published in the post-pandemic period, with
the interest in e-learning and online learning increasing in higher education, alongside
a trend towards investigating the delivery of instruction rather than conducting
student-centered studies.
