  Background of study
• The students in Malaysian schools are directly impacted by the Covid-19
pandemic. With school closure during Covid-19, most children in Malaysia have
experienced a great loss in education progress. As many as 40% have not been
able to attend online classes due to the lack of digital devices or Internet
connection.(Amar Singh et.al.Our Children’s Learning Loss: A Path To Post Covid
School Recovery In Malaysia,9 May 2022)

• Based on a study, the findings indicate that the Lower primary students
(Primary1-3) display significant positive behaviour compared to the Upper
secondary students mainly because they find online leaning more novel and
interesting.(Thang et.al International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and
Change,Vol.6,Issue 2022).
