Students' perceptions of elementary schoolteacher education on online learning

Abstract

Facial expression teaching has been replaced by virtual due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. The government's policy of homeschooling has led to the practice of virtual learning. Teachers' low readiness in planning, designing, and developing has shaped learners' perceptions of virtual education. This study explores how students perceive online education as a result of attending classes at home during the COVID-19 epidemic. There are 57 students involved in this case study, which uses a qualitative approach. Data was gathered using online surveys and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis in NVIVO 12 Plus was used for data analysis. This research reveals that teachers, students, learning resources, instruction, and technology have all impacted how students perceive online learning. As a consequence, teachers must improve their abilities. This research is meaningful in developing teaching and learning in the study program. Keywords: Students perception, online learning, COVID-19, SFH, NVIVO 12.
