Perception of STEM students in an online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic: advantages, academic challenges, and solutions
Abstract
This study examines 101 STEM students’ perception of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of advantages, academic challenges, and solutions. Using a quantitative research design, the researcher used a survey method in a private school among 101 STEM students in which online learning was implemented. The modified questionnaire underwent reliability testing, and each section (advantages, academic challenges, and solutions) shows excellent internal consistency among the items with Cronbach’s alpha scores of 0.914, 0.907, and 0.928, respectively. Results showed that pre-recorded lectures helped them re-watch missed lectures as being perceived by STEM students greatly advantageous. However, during online learning, most of them experienced a lack of concentration. To solve their perceived academic challenges, the survey showed that students should be given reasonable time to manage their assignments. Moreover, the results have also shown no statistically significant difference in sex, age, and year level. The results of this study do not consider online learning that occurs at other schools because it was performed in a single basic education school.
