Abstract:

In March 2020, the world faced an abrupt global health crisis as the pandemic rapidly spread, leading to widespread school closures. Our research explored students' online learning preferences during this crisis, considering a range of variables including age, gender, and personal characteristics. We used a quantitative approach to gather data through six online questionnaires covering demographic details, personality traits, self-efficacy, attitude toward technology, parental support, and learning preferences. Findings reveal that students who held a more favorable attitude towards technology, perceived higher levels of academic achievements and parental support, were inclined to favor online platforms to a greater extent.

Keywords:

Online learning, personality traits, self-efficacy, attitude toward technology, age and gender differences
