Students’ Responses to Online Class (A Case Study at SMAN 1 Meureudu)

This study aims to investigate the students’ responses to online learning at SMAN 1 Meureudu and the obstacles faced during online learning. The participants of this study were seven students of eleventh grade at SMAN 1 Meureudu who have experienced online learning and three teachers who taught online classes during the pandemic. In this study, I used qualitative research by using purposive sampling to recruit the participants. The results show that online learning received negative response from students. It is found that students’ responses on online learning are unpleasant because they did not meet directly with teachers and classmates, and students also considered online learning to be ineffective. Moreover, this study found the obstacles faced by students when learning online, such as poor networks and lack of family finance to support their learning.
