The Comparison of Highschool Students’ Happiness between On- site and Online Learning and its Correlation with Motivation to Learn

Abstract

Nowadays, with the current COVID-19 pandemic, education is done in the medium of online platforms compared to the typical on-site learning. As a result, this could be a drastic change in learning environments for many. A key component for learning is motivation, which could be correlated with the happiness students experience while learning. This study aims to compare different levels of happiness and motivation to learn between online and onsite settings and to find the correlation between happiness and motivation of students while learning. The data of this study was collected through an online survey, with the participant’s consent. The participants were students aged between 14-19, who have both experienced on-site learning and online learning. Participants answered 5-Likert scaled statements regarding happiness and motivation while learning in different settings. Additionally, statements regarding motivation were developed on the basis of the principle basic psychological needs which consists of three components: Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness. The survey received 253 responses in which the data, the mean, p-value (t-test), and the correlation value were calculated. Analysis of data showed that the mean scores of happiness and motivation of students while learning on-site were statistically higher than those of learning online at the significance level of 95%. Furthermore, the results illustrated that there was a high level of correlation of happiness and motivation to learn in both learning environments.
