BACKGROUND: The policy of limiting community activities during the COVID-19 pandemic affects the learning process. The expectation of the online learning methods is a stressor for the students. For this reason, it is necessary to explore the experiences of the students during online learning.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences, especially hopes and needs of the students, while undergoing online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: This study applied a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The participants involved were six health students from the Faculty of Health Sciences in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They were recruited using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through online interview. The data were then analyzed using the Colaizzi technique.
RESULTS: The results illustrated that there are two themes of the students’ expectations during the learning, including the expectations of the learning process and the expectations of the lecturers. There are two themes for the students’ needs during the online learning, namely, family support and internet network support. The students expect that the learning process is carried out with a combination of learning methods and the lecturers to understand the problems faced by students.
CONCLUSION: The students need the support of a good internet network and family support so that they can participate in the online learning well.Downloads
