“…Also, in most countries, internet connectivity is problematic and this affected teaching and learning using online means during the COVID-19 pandemic (Rahayu, Rahmadani, Syafitri, Prasetyoningsih, Ubaidillah & Tavakoli, 2022). Khobragade, Soe, Khobragade and Abas (2021) supported this view when they found that the barriers in virtual learning among medical students included communication, internet connectivity, and technical problems.…”

Purpose: This study investigated the perceived impact of COVID-19 on students’ academic performance in Colleges of Education in Ghana. Methodology: Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A sample of 346 students was selected from a population of 3,500 students in three selected Colleges of Education in the Volta Region of Ghana using convenience sampling procedure. Data were gathered using questionnaire and analysed using means and standard deviation. Data were presented in tables after the analysis. Findings: The study found that students found it difficult to focus during online lessons and that their academic performance had worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In terms of the challenges encountered by students during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the study revealed that poor internet connectivity, lack of needed resources like laptops to access online learning system and lack of conducive learning atmosphere in the house were identified. From the results, it was concluded that the COVID-19 Pandemic at its peak has been detrimental to the academic performance of students in Colleges of Education in Ghana. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy Recommendation: The study highlighted the fact that students can learn not only in-person but can engage in remote learning. This backed the position of the Transactional Distance Theory used in the study. In improving learning in the wake of COVID-19, Colleges of Education should provide platforms for online learning with easy access and usage for students. Generally, policy makers should make policies that would make online learning a part of the education system at all levels of education. This would be a positive adjustment caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Quarantines and virtual learning became necessary as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the challenges and opportunities in virtual classes; and how they affect the academic goals. There were 150 secondary students from Junior and Senior High School levels of education in the Philippines, who were deliberately selected; and they participated in the quantitative online survey that used a 62-item self-made 4-point Likert scale questionnaire, with 0.81 reliability coefficients. The data were evaluated by means of the percentage, the mean, and the standard deviation. Sex and secondary education levels were used, in order to compare the students’ challenges and opportunities. One-way ANOVA compared the male and female respondents’ perceived challenges and opportunities. The results revealed that junior high-school (JHS) girls highlighted academic satisfaction; while school-life balance, and virtual learning helped as challenges and opportunities. The females found school-life balance, communication (F(1,149)=11.098; F(1,149)=8.430, p<0.01), academic fulfilment, self-directedness, and time-management (F(1,149)=4.224; F(1,149)=4.470; F(1,149)=4.030, p<0.05) more difficult than did the males. Senior high school (SHS) students were less satisfied with the virtual teaching (F(1,149)=14.391, p<0.001), technology use (F(1,149)=7.342, p<0.01), and communication (F(1,149)=3.934, p<0.05) than JHS students. Males were more satisfied with school and teachers’ assistance (F(1,149)=7.482, p<0.01). Some viewed virtual learning more favourably; and they regard themselves as being adaptive; they think the subject matter and learning tasks are interrelated; and they viewed virtual feedback more positively (F(1,149)=6.438; F(1,149)=5.900; F(1,149)=5.183; F(1,149)=4.470, p<0.05). The JHS students reported subject matter and the virtual learning tasks as being interrelated; and they valued virtual feedback, school and teacher support, and the adaptability to change. Challenges and opportunities may serve as the foundation for establishing a more inclusive policy on virtual learning implementation, with school and stakeholders’ cooperation needed to sustain learners’ holistic development.

“…Nursing students, as professional graduates, are expected to take quick professional decisions that should be based on scientific concepts (Das et al, 2021). In fact, a previous study has shown that students are unable to learn well in online teaching compared to classroom teaching (Khobragade et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Online learning is a global trend in higher education in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. Online learning becomes one of the approaches available to most students and educators, as opposed to face-to-face learning. The aim of this research is to find out the correlation of online learning and satisfaction among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional approach involving 177 second-year nursing students randomly selected resulting in 121 students. Students filled out an online learning questionnaire consisting of 14 items and a satisfaction questionnaire consisting of 21 items from Google Forms. Data were analysed using logistic regression with level of significance (p=0.000). Results: The online learning indicator that had the highest average value was relevance (3.12), while the highest average value of student satisfaction indicator was content (3.05). Logistic regression showed that the online learning indicator that greatly affected student satisfaction was attractiveness. Fair attractiveness for online learning increased satisfaction by 7.516 times compared to poor attractiveness (p = 0.000) and good attractiveness for online learning increased satisfaction by 55.538 times compared to poor attractiveness (p = 0.000). Conclusions: Student satisfaction depends heavily on student attractiveness to the online learning process. Lecturers can increase the attractiveness of students toward online learning, whether through the utilized media, learning methods, or the technology of delivering lecture materials.
