Abstract:
The paper reports a study that aims to map the self-perceived readiness of Indonesian high school students for pursuing independent online learning. The study employed an online survey to assess students' readiness across dimensions such as self-concept, self-concept on independent learning skills, learning motivation, access to technology, technology usage in daily activities, and digital skills for online learning. The survey involved grade 10 and 12 students from 27 provinces, totaling 12,540 participants. Results indicate that over 98% of students are ready or highly prepared for independent online learning, with self-concept being the strongest dimension. However, the access to technology dimension exhibited the lowest readiness due to limitations in reliable personal devices and internet connectivity. Additionally, grade 12 students demonstrated higher readiness than grade 10 students. The study underscores the significance of addressing technological disparities to ensure effective online learning and advocates for ongoing assessment and policy improvements to sustain students' readiness in an ever-evolving technological landscape. The research provides insights into students' readiness levels and recommends strategies for enhancing online learning preparedness.
