5.3 Conclusion:
In the conclusion, during the study and research getting
the observation online study are technical skill. But it is not
effective as compare to the offline study. Online learning is
better the unique situation like- covid-19 recently running
around the world. The students and teachers perception for
online study is not good in skill and practical knowledge. We
could not denied that technique of learning will be change
quicker. However we felt that traditional teaching and learning
are better, but technology change it. Teachers should always
formulate themselves for the changing way of teaching. They
desires to be creative and find the effective technique in teaching
their students. Online learning is harmful effect for student
success. It has various aids over the traditional performances
of learning. A lot of the students are fascinated because of
it flexible, even though they need pay for the cost to use the
internet. While online learning lack of interaction and hardware
facilities on the reliability of the online learning and also no or
less skill of computer base knowledge. Online learning is not
focus or serious learning as compare to traditional method or
offline system. Most of the students are disagree for the online
learning that felt that is only way to avoid the gap of study
during pandemic situation or nothing.
According to descriptive study, we find the teachers or students
are totally different view about the online learning. But
according to pandemic situation both teachers and students
have same opinion for the interaction between them. Study
said that, students are so feel boredom and distracted by online
learning according to the pendamic situation. They are disagree
with the continuation of online learning in future.
