An Empirical Analysis Of Students’ Perception Of Forced Transition From Classroom Learning To Online Learning During Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has unpredictably affected all industrial sectors, from physical places to entirely online. The pandemic not only shuddered the entire nation but also has shuffled our entire education system. In India, many instructors, students, and educators, especially in higher education, are in the earliest phase of blended learning. Many academicians, as well as institutions, accepted this as an opportunity for an upcoming education revolution. However, the impact of coronavirus expanded beyond expectation, so
to fill the expanded gap, there is a need for a critical analysis of students' perceptions of traditional learning and online learning. This paper focuses on students' perception of sociodemographic representation and the mathematical analysis of students' perception of these learning methods. The findings of the paper are to indicate that there is a significant difference in student learning satisfaction. During the time of uncertainty, technology played an essential role, but at the same time, human interaction is equally essential for an effective teaching-learning process.
