Pearson correlation coefficient of the student perception and challenges towards open and distance learning during COVID-19

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has a huge change in worldwide education. Previous face to face method of learning have been change to open and distance learning. This study investigated students’ perceptions and challenge of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) during COVID19 in Institution of Higher Learning (IHL). Data were collected from 141 online students of IHL using Google Form. The independent sample t-test used to compare the mean of student perception and students challenges among sociodemographic. Meanwhile the Pearson correlation coefficient is also used to identify the relationship between the overall score of student perception and student challenges. As a result, the research revealed that there are significant moderate negative associations between students’ perception and students challenge.

Exploring User Experience and Emotion During Open Distance Learning Among University Students

“…Most IHL programmes around the world have shifted away from traditional or blended learning and moved toward online learning (Crawford et al, 2020;Hayatie et al, 2020). Consequently, learning assistance and sufficient learning materials are especially crucial in ODL learning interactions.…”

Students’ self-regulated learning in open and distance learning for Mathematics course

“…The consequences of ODL as a teaching method is the university's concern to improve students' academic performance, SRL and motivation of learning [4]. However, some students have a negative perception towards ODL because of challenges faced by students in performing their task as mentioned in [5] During the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), all levels of education schools including higher education institute have decided to introduce teaching and learning using ODL method. Teaching mathematics through ODL has become a challenge for educators because of the way of interactions with students and the delivery of teaching materials during instructions [6].…”
