“…Especially with the Covid-19 epidemic affecting the whole world, e-learning has become a necessity (Dhawan, 2020). All over the world during this pandemic period, e-learning has become an alternative way of continuing learning activities Roy et al, 2021). With the spread of the Covid19 epidemic in Turkey, with the decision taken by the Ministry of National Education [MEB] on March 12, 2020, education was suspended for two weeks in all schools across the country, and education continued remotely after this break (MEB, 2020).…”

This study was conducted to determine the e-learning readiness of fourth grade primary school students in villages and towns. The research was designed in descriptive survey model from quantitative research methods. The study group of the research consisted of 165 students, 85 of whom were male and 80 of whom were female. Of these students, 149 live in the village and 16 in the town. The "E-Learning Readiness Scale", which was adapted into Turkish by Bircan et al. (2022), was used as a data collection tool in the study. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent groups t-test and one-way ANOVA. As a result of the research, it was found that the e-learning readiness of fourth grade primary school students studying in rural areas differed significantly in favor of girls in terms of gender variable; it differed significantly in favor of computer ownership and internet connection in terms of having a computer and internet connection at home; it did not differ significantly in terms of having a tablet.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled all educational institutions from the conventional campus-based education system to e-learning worldwide. However, adapting to this new platform, e-learning readiness may cause perceived stress among students. This study aimed to examine the association between e-learning readiness and perceived e-learning stress and the relationship between sociodemographic and e-learning related factors. Results A cross-sectional study was employed, where 1145 e-learning enrolled university students were surveyed. The result indicated that nearly 91% of students reported moderate (76.07%) to the higher level (14.85%) of perceived e-learning stress, whereas more than half of them (58.17%) were at the sub-optimum level of readiness. Furthermore, it was found that students with the sub-optimum level of readiness compared to optimum had a significantly higher chance of reporting moderate and high level of perceived e-learning stress. Besides, parents’ highest education, residence, students’ preference in (e-learning or learning format), and having any eye problems were associated with perceived e-learning stress. Conclusions A sudden introduction of e-learning during the COVID-19 catastrophe has brought about challenges, including the students' readiness, that might exacerbate the perceived stress level in different ways. This study reported that most of the students were at sub-optimal levels of readiness and suffered from moderate to high levels of perceived e-learning stress. The findings should integrate into the education monitoring system to enhance students' coping strategies, incite readiness, straighten, and nourish existing policies. Key messages The moderate and higher level of e-learning stress was 76% and 15%, respectively. Here, 58% of students were at the sub-optimum level of e-learning readiness. Students’ sub-optimum level of e-learning readiness was significantly associated with the perceived moderate and high level of e-learning stress.

The COVID-19 pandemic jeopardized the traditional academic learning calendars due to the closing of all educational institutions across the globe. To keep up with the flow of learning most of the educational institutions shifted toward e-learning. However, the questions of the students e-learning preference for various sub-domains of e-learning readiness did not identify, particularly among the female nursing students for a developing country like Bangladesh, where those domains pose serious challenges. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the female nursing students perceived e-learning readiness in sub-domains of readiness; availability of technology, use of technology, self-confidence, and acceptance. About 237 nursing students were recruited, who have enrolled in e-learning at least the last 30 days of the participation. A multivariable linear regression model was fitted to find the association between students preference and the perceived e-learning readiness with demographic and e-learning related factors. The findings of the study revealed that more than half of the students, 56.54% (n=134) did not prefer e-learning. The students did not prefer e-learning compared to prefer group has significantly less availability of technology (β = -3.01, 95% CI: -4.46, -1.56), less use of technology (β = -3.08, 95% CI: -5.11, -1.06), less self-confidence (β = -4.50, 95% CI: -7.02, -1.98), and less acceptance (β = -5.96, 95% CI: -7.76, -4.16). The age, degree, residence, parents highest education, having a single room, having any eye problems significantly associated with the variation of availability of technology, use of technology, self-confidence, and acceptance for e-learning. The outcomes of the study could be helpful while developing an effective and productive e-learning infrastructure regarding the preparedness of nursing colleges for the continuation of academia in any adverse circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic.
