Abstract:
During COVID-19 pandemic, several countries were obliged to switch their teaching
programs into e-learning, where students spend long hour using electronic devices. This
study aims to determine the negative impact of electronic learning on the students’
academic performance in Khemis Miliana University. A quantitative analysis was made
after collecting the data. 30 Master English students in the Department of Foreign
Languages in Khemis Miliana were sampled. The main research tool that was used was
multiple choices questionnaire that was made up of 13 items. The data gathered from
the respondents were analyzed quantitatively using Spss software. The findings
demonstrate that the vast majority agree with the questions of the study. Students still
prefer classroom classes over online classes due to many problems they face when
taking online classes, such as lack of motivation, understanding of the material, and
decrease in communication levels between the students and their instructors and their
feeling of isolation caused by online classes
