Student’s Achievement Emotions In Online Learning

Abstract

Tuanku Sultanah Bahiyah Polytechnic has been actively using online learning since the start of the academic year 2020 due to the pandemic Covid 19, and it has continued to the present day. The aim of this study is to understand student’s emotions in online learning. A questionnaire was administered to 189 first semester students in the Commerce Department, Tuanku Sultanah Bahiyah Polytechnic, and the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) was used to assess students' emotions. The questionnaire focused on five emotional experiences of students for online learning, including enjoyment, hope, pride, anxiety, and boredom. The finding shows a significant relationship between online learning and emotion. In online learning, there is a positive correlation between students’ emotions of enjoyment, hope and pride and a negative correlation between student’s emotions of boredom and anxiety. The findings indicate that students had fun and were less bored when learning online. It means that students may find online learning interesting and that students may be more motivated and less prone to losing interest or becoming bored as a result. However, if the student's emotion is boredom, it may increase their anxiety. It discovered, in particular, that emotions play an important role in online learning and may significantly impact a learner's experience and outcomes.
