Problems of students in following the online learning process in the covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic requires people to work remotely from home or Work from Home (WFH), including lecture activities. The goal of WFH is to break the chain of spread of the corona virus. Transfer of lecture activities from campus to home as an effort to maintain social distancing. Like it or not, students must learn more independently. Many students respond well to online learning when it is implemented. However, students actually experience difficulties in learning after the online lecture process is running which has an impact on decreasing the quality of their learning. This survey research aims to determine the obstacles faced by physics students in participating in the online learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research sample of 331 respondents who have participated in the online learning process activities in the Covid-19 pandemic were taken randomly. The research instrument was a questionnaire sheet distributed on google form for 20 days. The results showed that students tended to choose the learning process on campus compared to studying online. The factor influencing online learning are the internet network, the readiness of students to receive and send information and the accessing the Learning Management System (LMS). The influence of these factors is found by students when they take courses in Disaster Management, Fundamental Physics, Mathematical Physics, Computational Physics, Algorithms and Computer Programming.
