THE BEHAVIOR OF TVET STUDENTS TOWARDS ONLINE LEARNING DURING COVID-19

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the biggest disruption in the education system in history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion students in more than 190 countries and all continents. Physical learning delays in educational institutions and other learning spaces have affected 94 percent of the world's student population. This scenario has opened up space for educational institutions to introduce online learning. Because the online learning situation is still new among some students, the effectiveness of learning has not yet been identified. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the behavior of IPTA students towards online learning. The location chosen is in one of the educational institutions in Sabah, namely Kota Kinabalu Polytechnic. Questionnaires were distributed using simple sampling techniques. A total of 119 students participated. The data were then analyzed descriptively using SPSS v.22. The results of the analysis found that overall, based on students' feedback on online learning, there are still many students from Sabah IPTA who have difficulty learning online. To make learning more effective, improvements need to be implemented over time.
