description COVID-19-pandemian syntyminen ja leviäminen ympäri maailman vuoden 2020 alussa tulee todennäköisesti olemaan yksi aikamme merkittävimpiä sukupolvikokemuksia. Sen maailmanlaajuinen vaikutus on ollut huomattava ja valtiot ympäri maailman ovat joutuneet tukeutumaan poikkeuksellisiin toimenpiteisiin. Koska tilanne kehittyy yhä ja sen vaikutukset ovat pitkälti vielä kartoittamatta, aiheutuneen ilmiön tutkiminen on perusteltua. Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma keskittyy Jyväskylän yliopiston opiskelijoihin ja heidän tapoihinsa käyttää informaatioteknologiaa koronaviruspandemian aikana niin opinnoissaan kuin vapaa-ajallakin. Tutkielmassa käsitellään myös informaatiotulvan ja ”infodemian” (informaatiotulva epidemian aikana) vaikutuksia opiskelijoihin. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen taustamateriaali sisältää aiempia viitekehyksiä muun muassa uuden teknologian omaksumisen, kognitiivisten prosessien sekä etäoppimisen osa-alueilta. Tutkimus esittää yleisen katsauksen siitä, kuinka sosiaalista etäisyyttä ylläpitävät tekijät ovat vaikuttaneet opiskelijoihin ja kuinka he ovat kyenneet sopeutumaan tilanteeseen. Tulosten pohjalta voidaan todeta, että opiskelijat ovat teknologisesti kykeneviä opiskelemaan verkkoympäristöissä. He ovat myös onnistuneet sopeutumaan tilanteeseen nähden hyvin, mutta eivät kuitenkaan ongelmitta. Edistyneistä teknologiaratkaisuista huolimatta opiskelu nähdään edelleen myös vahvasti sosiaalisena kokemuksena, eikä sitä pystytä korvaamaan riittävän hyvin teknologia-avusteisesti. Tilanteen epävarmuuden ja useista lähteistä tulevan informaatiotulvan vuoksi myös opiskelijoiden ahdistuneisuuden tunne ja turhautuminen kasvoi tilanteen edetessä. Näistä syistä etäopiskelujärjestelmät tulisi pitää mahdollisimman yksinkertaisina, jotta ne olisi helppo ottaa käyttöön eivätkä vain ylimääräinen stressin lähde. Etäopiskelu ja -työskentely ovat tulleet jäädäkseen, mutta ne tuskin koskaan tulevat olemaan ratkaisu jokaiseen tilanteeseen. The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 is very likely going to be one of the defining moments of the current generations. Its global impact has been severe and the governments around the world have been forced to take exceptional measures. As the situation is still evolving and largely unexplored, a research into the caused phenomena is warranted. This master’s thesis focuses on the students in the University of Jyväskylä and their use of information technology both in their studies and their social life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The viewpoints of information overload and “infodemic” (an information overload during an epidemic) are also examined in this thesis. In the theoretical background, existing frameworks from several fields are incorporated to the study, including the adoption of new technology, cognitive processes, and remote learning. The study presents a wide overview of how the social distancing measures taken during the pandemic have affected the students and how they have been able to adapt to the situation. The findings suggest that students are technologically capable of studying in an online environment and have adapted reasonably well, but not completely without issues. Even with the advanced technological possibilities that are available to us, studying is still largely a social experience, and the technological solutions cannot completely replace it. Due to the uncertainty of the situation and the excessive amount of information, an increase in anxiousness and frustration was also growing over time in the students. For these reasons, the remote systems should be kept as simple as possible, so they are easy to adopt and are not a source of further stress. Remote learning and working are here to stay, but they are not and will probably never be a complete solution to every scenario.
