Abstract
The education system has recently faced an unprecedented health crisis that has shaken its foundation. Given today’s uncertainties, gaining is vital. Although many studies have investigated this area, limited information is available regarding the challenges and the specific strategies students employ to overcome them.
This study attempts to fill in the void. Using a quantitative method approach, the findings revealed that the online learning challenges of Grade-12 students varied in type and extent. Their greatest challenge was linked to their learning environment at home, while their least challenge was technological literacy and competency. The findings further revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the quality of the learning experience and students’ mental health.
The most frequently used strategies employed by students were resource management and utilization, help-seeking, technical aptitude enhancement, time management, and learning environment control. Implications for classroom practice, policy-making, and future research are discussed.
