A Study on Challenges and Factors Influencing E-Learning System during Pandemic of Private School Students in Chengalpattu District, Tamilnadu
Abstract: This study examines the changing challenges and key factors influencing e-learning systems for private school students in Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu, within the post-pandemic educational context. Although the phase of emergency remote teaching has passed, a lasting transition toward technology-enhanced hybrid learning has taken place. Utilizing a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, data were gathered through an online questionnaire administered to 312 students, divided into urban (n=202) and rural (n=110) groups. Findings reveal that while overall infrastructural access has improved, a persistent "quality divide" remains. Notably, 71% of rural students continue to face unstable internet connections, which hampers their ability to participate in synchronous activities. Additionally, new issues such as "platform fatigue" and "digital burnout" have surfaced, with 68% of students reporting high levels of screen exhaustion?a factor strongly correlated with reduced motivation (r = -0.62, p<0.01). From a pedagogical perspective, 82% of students expressed a clear preference for a flipped-classroom hybrid model over exclusively online or traditional lecture formats. The study concludes that the primary challenge has shifted from basic access to the need for sustainable, engaging, and equitable hybrid pedagogies that promote digital wellness alongside academic achievement.
