摘要：Teachers and students have to continue teaching and learning remotely via various platform including video conferencing apps and social media applications due to Covid-19. Although the majority of adult learners are generally prepared for online teaching, there are not enough studies done on the readiness level of younger learners. Therefore, the study attempted to identify the online learning readiness level among secondary school pupils and the obstacles that hindered them during remote learning. The researcher had adopted a survey research design and employed an Online Learning Readiness Scale (OLRS) questionnaire to investigate 30 secondary school pupils’ online learning readiness in a district in Sarawak. In addition, the respondents were asked to identify the obstacles that they faced during online learning. The study found that the respondents showed generally high readiness in online learning. The respondents showed the highest readiness in online communication self-efficacy and the least readiness in learner control. The study was crucial as it would provide better understanding on pupils’ perspectives on online learning which in turn would help responsible parties to identify pupils’ strengths and weaknesses in online learning. Further studies should be done regarding ways to improve younger learners’ engagement in online learning in order to optimise their online learning experience as Malaysia is heading towards industrial revolution 4.0.
