Factors Influencing Online Learner Performance During Coronavirus Disease Pandemic: A Case Study in Vietnamese Universities

Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">Vietnam has a reputation for being a successful nation in preventing the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in 2020, with a lower number of illnesses than other ASEAN countries. However, to ensure that students are safe and informed about the coronavirus outbreak, Vietnamese higher education has developed online learning (OL). During the COVID-19 epidemic, this paper explores the relationship between elements such as learning readiness, learning strategies, and learning performance in the Vietnamese OL setting. Four hundred undergraduate students were randomly selected from Hong Duc universities, and Saigon University participated in this study in different zones. Analyzed data has applied structural equation modeling (SEM) using partial least squares (SmartPLS-SEM). The findings found that Vietnamese students were much more likely to believe in interaction in OL, to feel comfortable using a computer with their computer efficacy, and to have confidence in communicating in the digital environment, all of which were important variables in assuring the success of using OL. The factors of “motivation” and “test preparation” show a poor relationship with learning performance. Therefore, the OL process in Vietnamese, on the other hand, needs to be more inventive, with a greater focus on lecturers' awareness and practice of online teaching pedagogies such as motivation, techniques, and test arrangement. During OL, students' readiness in terms of learning control, self-directed learning, and engagement must be considered and supported.</p>

Faktor yang keempat adalah penerapan protokol kesehatan, tidak dapat dipungkiri penerapan protokol kesehatan yang ketat adalah kunci dalam mengatasi atau menghambat penyebaran covid 19, dan ini penting untuk diterapkan oleh para warga kampus pada saat terselenggaranya perkuliahan hybrid (Nguyen et al, 2022;Washington State Department of Health, 2022). Selain persiapan yang dilakukan oleh kampus, terkait penerapan protokol kesehatan ini diperlukan juga kesadaran oleh mahasiswa dalam menerapkan protokol kesehatan secara ketat.…”

Drivers of Primary School Students’ Achievement in Indonesia During Pandemic

“…Principals must have flexible properties that have an adaptive capacity to learn and thrive amid the pandemic pressures (Fernandez & Shaw, 2020;Harris et al, 2017). Thus, through commitment to strengthening their role in the school, the principal can become a key player in seeking school excellence, especially the improvement of student achievement (Ghasemy et al, 2018;Harris et al, 2017;Nguyen et al, 2022). Therefore, it is predicted that political context can activate principal support, allowing students to achieve more.…”
