ABSTRACT

It has been three years since the outbreak of the Covid-19, and until the epidemic is completely over, online learning will continue, based on a full understanding of the advantages of online classes, and how to readiness for online learning in order to better meet the learning needs of students and thus further improve the efficiency of online classes. In this context, it is of great importance to conduct an in-depth analysis of students' readiness for online learning. Using structured interviews, 10 students from an applied undergraduate school across the region were interviewed to explore the factors that influence students' readiness for online learning: 1) The differences in online learning readiness among students of different genders are greater. 2) The availability of technology and hardware facilities is the main factor in the readiness required for online learning. 3) Emergencies affect online learning readiness to some extent. 4) The impact of vision and students' perceptions are external factors that affect readiness for learning, and learning confidence and motivation are internal factors that affect readiness for learning. Accordingly, the following suggestions are made for the online learning readiness of university students: using gender differences to improve online learning readiness, improving the proficiency of teachers and students in using equipment (technology), improving the ability to deal with online learning emergencies, and clarifying learning motivation and correcting learning attitudes.
