Lately, not only work has moved online, but also learning. Time that people saved in the two years of the pandemic has been reinvested in their education. Whether we are talking about professional development courses or personal development and hobby courses, more people are using online platforms to enrich their knowledge.
To better understand the learning behaviors and interests of Romanians, Upriserz tasked MKOR with a market research on Romanians’ perception of the concept of lifelong learning, general learning habits, and platforms accessed for the purpose of learning.
Romanians’ habits and attitudes regarding lifelong learning
To establish how Romanians understand and relate to the learning activity, we chose to conduct primary research on a nationally representative sample.
Specifically, we asked the population what lifelong learning means to them, and what are their habits regarding learning. Thus, we obtained valuable information related to the frequency and duration of learning, areas of interest, and resources used while learning, in general, but also compared to the last 12 months.
In addition, the information collected on values and hobbies allowed us to outline personas that capture various types of learning.
Benchmarking eLearning Platforms
We mapped the main online learning platforms, which we evaluated in a benchmarking analysis using indicators such as:
- Top of Mind
- Brand Awareness
- Product usage
- NPS score
In this way we identified not only the main differentiators of the preferred learning platforms, but also possible pain points that may be impediments in accessing these resources.
Educational Research Objectives
In order to determine how Romanians learn and how they relate to online educational platforms, we have considered several main directions:
- Identify leisure habits
- Identify learning habits
- Assessing perceptions of lifelong learning
- Benchmarking learning platforms
- Determining the profile of respondents

For us, usage and attitude (U&A) studies are those challenges in which we put all our enthusiasm, know-how and responsibility, because we understand how important it is for a business to have a thorough understanding of consumer habits.
Such studies (U&A) facilitate the exploration of the link between consumer attitudes and consumption habits. However, there are a variety of ways in which the study of behaviors and attitudes can support the management decisions of a business. From identifying new market prospects to discovering new opportunities for the product portfolio.
If you want to base your business strategy on valuable data from the market of interest, we assure you that:
- We will choose the right methodology to achieve your goals,
- We will run the project at a high quality level,
- The results you will receive in the end will exceed your expectations.

MKOR studies in the context of market uncertainty
Recent experiences (pandemic, war in Ukraine) have made us feel that uncertainty is the only constant, and real-time access to market changes can make all the difference.
That is why, at MKOR, we respond to the need for data regarding consumer behaviour in Romania through the first live market study in the country – Consumer Trends.Live. This complete market intelligence tool is the only resource that constantly provides data on the analyzed markets, no matter what happens.
Gain the competitive advantage with market data, which you can find even as they happen, with a single click in our interactive dashboards!
