Abstract

Nowadays, online learning has become a widespread practice as an integrated education technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. Learning is best viewed from the perception of students because they have direct experience of it. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between medical student’s perception toward online learning behavior. This was a cross-sectional study at the Al-Azhar Islamic University, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. A total of 260 medical students were enrolled in this study. The dependent variable was online learning behavior and the independent variable was student’s perception. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Chisquare table 2x2. Medical student’s perception was correlated with online learning behavior during pandemic COVID19 (OR= 2.78; p<0.001), and it was statistically significant. This study concludes that online learning behavior is associated with the medical student’s perception of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
