Abstract

The sudden upsurge of the COVID-19 pandemic situation had a staggering impact on the B.Ed. curriculum. The curriculum makers were forced to make an immediate shift towards e- learning or remote learning and embarked on the digital platforms without much planning. The distinctive rise of e-learning has changed the educational sector drastically, as the teacher community in Kerala was especially not ready for this sudden transition. Nevertheless, the Universities have ramped up technical capabilities to enhance the effectiveness of online learning variables amongst the student groups. However, the researcher feels to attain a general consensus and assess the perspectives of students in relation to the changing educational imperative of learning online, the study is a mandate. The research method used here was an online survey. The respondents were the students of second semester B.Ed. course from the various colleges coming under Calicut and Kannur Universities. A semi structured questionnaire was used in the online survey. The non-probability sampling technique namely purposive sampling was employed to select the respondents. Data was collected from 110 students, out of these 105 were female students and five were male students. The result of the research revealed that even though the teachers are struggling their best through online mode, the students do not exhibit an expected level of satisfaction. Through an open-ended question, certain other difficulties faced by the students were also revealed.
