A Study on the Effectiveness and Challenges of E–Learning on the Undergraduate Student During COVID – 19 in Bangladesh

Abstract

The worldwide educational systems and public health and safety were harmed by the COVID-19 epidemic. Most educational institutions, including Bangladesh, have delayed their face-to-face instruction out of concern about the continued spread of diseases. However, little is known regarding its efficacy and the difficulties that the pupils confront. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of online learning and the difficulties it poses for students' learning. The secondary data from 46 pupils was descriptively examined, the data from 20 teachers was gathered by survey questionnaire, and a Google meet interview was also conducted. The findings generally indicated that the students' homes had internet access, smartphones, and computers. In addition, it was discovered that computer use was highly capable and comfortable. However, their enthusiasm for online learning was low and their capacity for teamwork was average. Moreover, they said that face-to-face training or traditional instruction was essential for their learning. The government, parents, teachers and school administrators may use this information to their advantage. It shows how crucial it is to have well-equipped facilities and a dependable diseases connection for the best possible learning. Future researchers are urged to use a greater number of participants and students from varied backgrounds in order to better grasp this problem.
