“…Students missed appropriate interaction with classmates and instructor (Online Student Survey, 2020), which had also claimed in several previous studies (Bisht et al, 2020;Khalil et al, 2020). On the contrary, Alawamleh et al (2020) and Blizak et al (2020) found that most students preferred traditional direct classes in the classroom instead of virtual classes. In addition, those studies found that participants did not discern comfort in virtual classes, and participants argued that conventional classes are better than online classes.…”

“…Sometimes, they disconnected from online class due to electricity and faced challenges communicating with teachers and classmates, and the argument had supported by similar studies in Nepal (Subedi et al, 2020). On the other hand, Blizak et al (2020) mentioned that students faced difficulty participating in online classes due to the lack of gadgets. We also noticed similar problems among Bangladeshi students in accessing suitable devices to access online schooling.…”

The disease outbreak COVID-19 pandemic impacted public health and safety and the educational systems worldwide. For fear of the further spread of diseases, most educational institutions, including Bangladesh, have postponed their face-to-face teaching. Therefore, this study explores public university student’s perceptions towards online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. Data had collected among students of Islamic University, Kushtia, Bangladesh, through an online survey. The study followed a quantitative approach, where the survey technique was used as an instrument of data collection. Results showed that most students faced difficulty participating in virtual classes and could not communicate with their friends correctly during online classes. Thus, they faced challenges in online schooling, and the majority of the students preferred conventional types of learning to virtual classes and did not understand the content of virtual classes easily. The study also explored that most students did not feel comfortable in online classes. Still, considering the present pandemic situation, they decided to participate in online classes to continue schooling. Besides, the study discovered that female students showed a better view than male students regarding online classes, and urban students have more positive appreciation than rural students. Furthermore, laptop or personal computer users showed more positive perceptions towards online education than mobile users. Moreover, Broadband/Wi-Fi users have more positive perceptions than mobile network users. These findings would be an essential guideline for governments, policymakers, technology developers, and university authorities for making better policy choices in the future.

“…Some have highlighted students' negative perception of online learning and their lack of learning motivation and digital competences (Blizak et al, 2020;Bozkurt & Sharma, 2020). A growing number of articles have also discussed how to prevent cheating behaviors in online assessments, assuming students to be potential cheaters (J.…”

While much is discussed of the challenges that educators and their institutions have been facing during COVID-19, there is little reported about how students have been coping with the challenges. In this short piece, we present preliminary data on university students' perceptions of online learning and teaching during the pandemic. Our findings from a student course satisfaction survey, conducted in two universities during the 2020 summer term (June through August), reveal that students have been more resilient than is often assumed. In light of these findings as well as the reflections of authors in a previous issue of Distance Education, we will discuss some important implications for distance education scholarship.

“…Siswa lebih banyak menyukai pembelajaran luring karena siswa terbiasa dipandu guru dalam pembelajaran bahkan belum siap belajar mandiri jarak jauh (Churiyah et al, 2020) (AGORMEDAH et al, 2020. Siswa lebih senang belajar tatap muka dibandingkan dengan daring pada pokok bahasan hidrokarbon (Blizak et al, 2020). Bagi siswa pembelajaran daring tidak lebih menarik dibandingkan pembelajaran tatap muka (El Firdoussi et al, 2020).…”

Online learning requires students and teachers to communicate interactively by utilizing information and communication technology, such as computer media with the internet, mobile phones with various applications, video, telephone or fax. Online learning is very suitable to be applied to the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 . This study aims to determine the difficulties of students in online learning the subject of hydrocarbons. This research is a descriptive study with the instruments used in the form of 15 item questions and a questionnaire of 20 items. From the results of the study, students had abilities with high criteria of 7.92%, students had medium criteria abilities of 3.33%, students had abilities of low criteria 88.75%. Students have difficulty in answering the problem of determining the primary, secondary, tertiary C atom; IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes, alkenes, alkyne, and reactions to hydrocarbons. Face-to-face learning cannot be replaced with online learning because students are not used to independent learning, insufficient facilities, insufficient internet quota. Online learning on the subject of hydrocarbons is not enough to use an android cellphone, but requires a laptop, computer or notebook. Training on the use of Chemsketch or Chemdraw is required in describing the structure and nomenclature of IUPAC. A safe and conducive environment, harmonious parental and family assistance is indispensable in online learning. Student interest and motivation are very much needed in independent learning to be the key to the success of online learning.
