 TYPE OF RESEARCH
• Phenomenological Research - The research is
phenomenological because the main goal of the
research is to know the perception of students
towards the quality of online education. It’s a
phenomenological research because it explains the
nature of online education through the way students
experience it.

interviews, observation, and documents to
explain the quality of online education through
the experiences of students
 METHODOLOGY
The study used triangulation method each participant engages in two
interviews one structured and unstructured ,two observations are carried out
each were approximately a 60 min session ,the observation is being done to
the place where the participants usually completed their online coursework.
• Documents are collected from all participants ,these documents are
printouts and other information to substantiate the information that was
already collected from the interviews and observation.
 RESULT
• While receiving online education participants gained positive and negative
experiences. Flexibility of class participation time and self-paced study, cost-
effectiveness of online class, electronic research availability, well-designed
course layout, ease connection of the Internet, easy navigation of the online
class interface, and familiarity with the instructor contributed to participants’
positive experiences. Factors that contributed to students’ negative experiences
were: delayed feedback from the instructor; unavailable technical support from
the instructor, lack of self-regulation and selfmotivation, sense of isolation,
monotonous instructional methods, and poorly-designed course content.
