The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a substantial transition of Chinese international education to online learning. This article discusses the impact of online learning from international students’ perspectives. Data were collected from exploratory interviews with a small group of international students at a research university and a nationwide survey involving 1,010 international students at 41 universities in China. A synthesis of the two studies’ findings pointed to low levels of online learning satisfaction, particularly among international students from Africa, those in undergraduate programs, those in life sciences and medical disciplines, and those studying at research-centered universities. Moreover, both studies revealed low emotional engagement significantly predicted international students’ online learning dissatisfaction. To enhance international students’ satisfaction, it is suggested that universities and teachers prioritize the building of student-centered online learning environments supporting international students’ emotional involvement and helping them feel a greater sense of belonging in online intercultural learning.

Since before the outbreak of the corona virus, parents have an obligation to support their children's education in schools. The implementation of online learning as an effort to prevent the spread and transmission of this virus has made the role of parents even greater in the education of their children. The research is aimed at finding out how the behavior change communication program carried out by the government is implemented and what obstacles parents encounter in assisting their children to study at home. This is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The phenomenological approach was chosen because the researchers wanted to dig deeper into the experiences of the informants, especially related to assisting children in online learning. Data was collected by semi-structured interviews with 20 informants consisting of parents of students in grades 1 to 3 of elementary schools in Jakarta. The results of this study indicate that behavioral change communication carried out in order to change the behavior of parents so that they want to accompany their children to study from home is quite successful after going through the pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance stages.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government implemented a large-scale social restriction policy that impacted online learning. There are obstacles where not all students have supporting learning facilities and have learning difficulties requiring teacher intervention in the learning process. The study aimed to determine teacher intervention in the learning process for students with learning difficulties. The research method used descriptive qualitative at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic Elementary School) Ats-Tsauroh Serang City, Banten Province. Data collection was limited to interviews with eight informants, including teachers, madrasa heads, and deputy madrasa heads, during the social restrictions period in February-April 2021. The results showed that teacher intervention in overcoming student learning difficulties was carried out directly, namely by understanding student conditions, understanding the typology of student learning difficulties, communicating with students' parents, observing students' family environmental conditions, conducting study visits to students' homes, and assessing student motivation. Teacher creativity is essential in making decisions for the benefit of student learning so that teachers provide the best service under challenging conditions. The implication of this research is that teacher intervention is effective in overcoming students' learning difficulties in the Covid-19 social restrictions.
