Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdown in most countries of the world, led to the adoption of emergency remote learning by many institutions. In this study, online learning experiences of pre-service science teachers in colleges of education in Kwara State was investigated. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were employed in selecting six institutions and 241 pre-service science teachers who completed the online questionnaire. The questionnaire titled _College of Education Students_ Online Learning Experiences (COESOLE) had a reliability index of 0.74. Data gathered was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. It was found that: (i) Smart phones and WhatsApp were predominantly used for online learning and (ii) Regardless of their gender or institution type, most pre-service science teachers had no stressful experiences with online learning. It was recommended that institutions should adopt the use of online learning management systems and also integrate online teaching into peer teacher exercise.
