Description
Summary:This research reveals students' readiness and perceptions of online learning post the COVID-19 pandemic. Online learning has gained significant popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. This learning method offers flexibility and convenience for students, however now that learning in higher education institutions has returned to normal, how students' perceptions of online learning are fully debated in this study. Three hundred and eight students from local universities in Indonesia took part in a quantitative study to explore the satisfaction and effectiveness of online learning. This research is a cross sectional study completed by making an association between various parameters using an independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. The findings report that most of the students are dissatisfied with online learning and only the facts find that it is effective for their learning. It is based on the facts that both genders are equally ready for online learning after the post Covid-19 pandemic. It is proved by Welch test indicating that there was no significant difference in readiness for online teaching between gender (t= 0.089, p = 0.935). There is no significant difference in gender in their perception on the effectiveness of online learning. A negative t-value indicates (t = -0.45, p = 0.653). And there is no significant difference among the students from different faculties in their readiness for online learning based on one-way ANOVA test showing that p<0.05 level on the effectiveness of online learning post-covid [F(5, 127) = 3.714, p =0.004] and the readiness for online learning was not statistically different between faculties [F(5, 127) = 0.827, p =0.533]. Refer to online learning. The study concluded that a fully online mode may not be suitable for all types of learners. Instructors and institutions need to recognize these issues and provide appropriate supports and solutions to improve the effectiveness of online education. © 2023 Sciedu Press. All rights reserved.
