Abstract

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, online learning has become the innovation and an alternative virtual
education adopted by universities, due to campus closures. The sudden adoption of the innovation
without prior preparation and training causes the ineffective implementation of online learning in most
institutions. Based on this description, insufficient information is available regarding the experiences of
the student population, which are the most affected by online learning in higher education. Therefore, this
study aims to explore the experiences of pre-service teachers regarding their numerous abilities to
provide a good online learning program. Using a qualitative focus group study design, data were obtained
through the focus group discussion (FGD) on 58 and 52 teachers, which were divided into 10 study
groups during the first and final semesters. The results showed that both groups had similar and different
experiences, regarding lecturers' ability to effectively perform online learning. According to the experience
of the participants, the lecturers with pedagogical and social-personal skills were able to emphasize and
encourage the attractiveness of online learning. In addition, some of the differences highly depended on
the specific indicators of the two aspects. These results are expected to provide a framework for
university lecturers and administrators, towards implementing the learning process.
