Abstract

Online learning has become an essential part of higher education, offering flexibility and wider access to students worldwide. Yet, in practice, many learners, especially those in EFL contexts, continue to face significant challenges that are often overlooked in existing research. This descriptive quantitative study explores the challenges and opportunities of online learning for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in higher education, specifically focusing on the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. Using a cross-sectional survey of 85 students, the research aimed to identify common obstacles and advantages in online learning while uncovering students' expectations and suggestions. The results revealed that technical issues (87.1%), lack of social interaction (67.1%), and difficulty understanding course material (52.9%) were the primary obstacles faced by students. Conversely, cost-effectiveness (62.4%), unrestricted access to course materials (49.4%), and reduced social demands (42.4%) were identified as key advantages. Notably, 79% of respondents expressed reluctance to engage in future online learning. This sentiment reflects persistent structural and pedagogical gaps. To improve the online learning experience, students proposed enhanced technological infrastructure, more interactive engagement, and increased instructional support. The findings underscore the need for institutions to reevaluate their online education strategies to ensure student-centered and sustainable learning environments.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how biotechnology education focuses on learning implementation, student activities, Science Process Skills (SPS), field constraints, student responses, and to identify future research directions. The study employs descriptive quantitative research involving students at the junior high school Unesa. The data is gathered through observation, test and questionnaire. The data are analysed descriptively. Based on what the observer thought, the data showed that learning went very well. It's mostly made up of talking between students and teachers, like asking questions and having conversations. At most, problem-solving and data collection skills were learned, but things like media, classroom, and time management were not. Student responses were positive to the SETS model, but their understanding of scientific work and evaluation questions needed to be improved. These potentially affect the priority research agenda, which focuses on technology integration, teacher training, contextual learning, interdisciplinary approaches, and the integrated biotechnology of SETS. The study concludes that SETS model learning was carried out very well and received a positive response from students, with active interaction between students and teachers, especially in verbal interaction and SPS, such as formulating problems and data collecting.
