| Summary: | Since the beginning of 2020, Covid-19 has changed the face of global education. Online learning becomes the only feasible solution, albeit with the emergency nature in this crisis condition. Specifically in Indonesia, many elementary and middle school students struggle to cope with it and feel frustrated (Megawanti, Megawati, & Nurkhafifah, 2020). This paper observes such a phenomenon as this in Charis High School in Malang, Indonesia. It aims to identify students’ perceptions regarding the online learning process, as well as their perceptions regarding their interaction with the teacher and their peers. A 4-scale Likert-like questionnaire was distributed to 175 students of Charis High School. As many as 127 students responded. Overall, they did not have any problem with gadgets and internet connection. In general, the respondents had a good experience during their online learning period. They knew whether their study time is sufficient, and when they feel the need to, they did independent study outside of school period. This is even though, like many other students, some of them might get distracted during the study. They could conduct their learning smoothly from their home and their gadgets, although the internet connection might be an occasional hindrance. The students also enjoyed various learning methods and media provided by the teacher, while still wishing for other possible alternatives. Communication-wise, they had no problem while still missing having direct face-to-face communication again, especially with their peers. |
