The global health crisis created by COVID-19 has posed significant obstacles to the educational system, prompting a change from face-to-face classes to distance learning. In the middle of this global pandemic, different schools worlwide have used online learning as one of the distance learning modalities. This action research aimed to determine the online learning readiness of the Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) Program students of Sta. Cruz National High School.   A survey was used to determine the demographic profile and the online learning readiness level of these students in terms of expectations, self-direction, learning preferences, self-study habits, technology skills, hardware/software capabilities, and family support. This research utilized a quantitative descriptive research design. The results of this study shows that most of the STE students of this school have high level of online readiness in terms of expectations, self-direction, learning preferences, self-study habits, and technology skills. However, most of them only have an average level of online readiness in terms of hardware/software capabilities. Moreover, these students believed that their parents and family members are willing to support their needs that are essential for their active engagement in online learning.  The findings of this research shall serve as basis for crafting policies, programs and projects to provide support in terms resources both physical and financial for the successful implementation of the online distance learning of students under the STE Program.

Online learning readiness is fundamental to student successful participation, presence, and interaction in online courses. Effective facilitation of these key components depends on sound instructional design. In self-directed online environments, learner-content interaction and scaffolding self-regulated learning have been found of primary importance to generate meaningful learning. To provide a solution to the challenges of interoperability of various functions in synchronous online learning environments, this chapter presents a case study about the design and development of a self-paced orientation to help students acquire online learning readiness. Learner-content interaction is strategically utilized in the design to scaffold self-regulated learning. The results of the case study demonstrate that this orientation positively prepares students to be ready for learning in a synchronous online environment. The approach can be of practical use to individuals and groups.

Corona virus pandemic has rapidly changed the way of life, as well as the way of learning system in entire world. The need of information and communication technology (ICT) competencies and improved digital infrastructure are the main requirement to conducting the distance or online learning, In addition, both teacher and student must be adapted with this “abnormal” condition. Since the online learning or distance learning has been officially applied by Indonesian government at March 2020 then extended to unknown end time (the end of pandemic), a massive overhaul and evaluation are needed to begin a “new normal” learning period. This is an evaluative survey study about the online learning readiness during pandemic. The data has been collected equally using online survey platform from three hundreds high school students in the rural and urban region; and thirty history teachers. Based on the research, mainly students and teacher are not well prepared and fully ready for conducted online learning due to technical problems such as stability of internet access, internet network availability, and financial issue. Consequently, in long-term effect, the unbalanced in preparation of online learning could be resulted in digital divided which raise the inequality of quality education between the learners.

Since a few years ago, blended learning has been implemented by UNUSA. However, until now, the implementation is still not optimal. Various obstacles, such as network access, availability of devices, and unclear rules in implementing online learning, still occur. Readiness analysis is one of the critical success in online learning implementation.  The main objective of this research is to conduct online learning readiness studies at UNUSA. This research was carried out in three main stages: the preparation of measurement instruments, data collection, and analysis of readiness level. The method used is descriptive research method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The Seakow & Samson e-learning readiness model with five dimensions of readiness, namely policy, technology, financial, human resource, and infrastructure, is used in this study. The result of this study shows that that UNUSA's level of readiness in implementing online learning is in the Ready category, requiring improvement to implement it with a readiness score of 3.68. The dimension with the highest score is technology, which is 3.84. Meanwhile, infrastructure and policy scored 3.77 and 3.72, respectively. The human resources dimension has a readiness score of 3.6. In contrast, the dimension with the lowest score is the financial dimension.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic accelerates the disruption in the education world to shift from face-to-face learning to online learning. Several challenges in implementing online learning potentially make online learning not run well, and later it will be affected by student’s satisfaction. This study aims to examine the effect of academic resilience on student satisfaction in online learning with the mediating role of online learning readiness. About 379 university students (aged 18-32 years (M = 20.55, SD = 1.87) whose hired by using the incidental sampling technique, participated in this study. The data were collected with three instruments: the academic resilience scale (ARS-30), Learner Readiness for Online Learning, and Student Satisfaction with Online Learning. The result showed that online learning readiness fully mediates the relationships between academic resilience and online learning satisfaction. Higher academic resilience increasing online learning readiness, then enhancing student’s online learning satisfaction. This study provides a valuable result for further research and intervention design related to academic resilience, learning readiness, and online learning satisfaction. Keywords: Academic resilience; College students; Online learning readiness; Online learning satisfaction AbstrakPandemi COVID-19 mengakselerasi distrupsi pada dunia pendidikan untuk beralih dari pembelajaran tatap muka menjadi pembelajaran daring. Sejumlah tantangan dalam mengimplementasikan pembelajaran daring berpotensi membuat pembelajaran daring tidak berjalan ideal dan nantinya berdampak pada kepuasan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh resiliensi akademik terhadap kepuasan mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran daring dengan peran mediasi kesiapan belajar daring. Penelitian ini melibatkan 379 mahasiswa berusia 18-32 tahun (M=20.55, SD=1.87) yang diperoleh melalui Teknik sampling incidental. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan skala the academic resilience scale (ARS-30), Learner Readiness for Online Learning dan Student Satisfaction with Online Learning. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesiapan belajar daring menjadi mediator dalam hubungan antara resiliensi akademik dan kepuasan belajar daring pada mahasiswa. Resiliensi akademik yang baik membuat individu memiliki kesiapan belajar daring yang lebih baik yang kemudian akan meningkatkan kepuasan dalam belajar daring. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan penelitian dan intervensi terkait resiliensi akademik, kesiapan belajar dan kepuasan belajar daring.
