Abstract

Online learning has become an alternative strategy for teaching and learning at universities in almost all countries. Implementing this approach poses significant challenges, particularly for sports science students who engage predominantly in face-to-face activities centered on active learning due to the nature of their field of study. This research aimed to describe student's perception of online learning at the university. The quantitative method was applied in this study by employing an online survey for sports science undergraduates from both universities. One hundred twenty (n=120) sports sciences students from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ) answered an online survey using a Google form written in Indonesian and Malay languages. It contained the following topics: (1) students' preparation for online learning; (2) students' experience with online learning; and (3), students' satisfaction with online learning. The scale was found to have construct validity and good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96). Participants were asked to rate each statement on a four-point Likert Scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The results indicated no differences in the students' perception of online learning between Malaysian and Indonesian sports science university students. Some recommendations to increase the quality of learning in post-pandemic situations are presented in the discussion section. © Asian Journal of University Education by Asian Centre for Research on University Learning and Teaching (ACRULeT) is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
