Student's Attitudes and Satisfaction Towards Online Teaching (E -learning) During Covid-19

To control the spread of corona virus outbreak in India, nationwide lockdown had been started in India since 25th March 2020. All educational institutes have been closed since March 16 in west Bengal. The 2020 academic year is a period of darkness in the lives of students due to lockdown. West Bengal Education Minister urges stakeholders to consider alternative plans to complete the syllabus during the long shutdown. Therefore, many schools started resuming their sessions through e-learning portals. The researchers adopted and implemented a questionnaire where its validity and reliability for collecting data have been verified. Mean, standard deviations, and one-way ANOVA tests were conducted. The results indicate that the student’s satisfaction level and attitudes towards e-learning and virtual classes are strong in general with varying degrees between items. The results did not show any significant difference at the level ($\alpha = 0.05$) for the independent variables: student’s gender, residential location, college, and GPA. However, the results imply that there is a statistically significant difference in student’s satisfaction level and attitudes towards e-learning and virtual classes for the independent variable of educational level. The study concluded with few recommendations; supporting the current efforts of the university to provide all the requirements of education via e-learning and virtual classes such as suitable infrastructure and technical support.
