Abstract: Online learning enables the students to explore varied opportunities that will help enhance their skills and knowledge. Through different technological tools and applications, it is important for students to access the different lessons that will be applicable for their needs and interests and also for their future professional careers. This study investigated the perceptions and attitudes of Senior High School students towards online learning. The research also determined the positive and negative aspects of online learning that were encountered by Senior High School learners. Overall, one hundred thirty-nine (139) Senior High School students took part in the study. The results showed that students have mostly positive level of perceptions and attitudes. It is indicated that the students got high mean scores in all five scales: technology experiences and challenges, teacher’s interaction with students, quality of student’s work, autonomy and student engagement, and home support and assistance, including the general perceptions of the online learning. Most students positively focused on developing new skills and knowledge, while denoting that they also experienced technical problems such as unstable internet connection and lack of access. Apart from using new tools and participating in activities that are suited to their needs and desires, encouraging students to successfully expand their use of online learning can help them remain engaged. Future research should also include the impact of the present study to a larger size sample; thus, this will help other researchers to look into alternative ways of promoting effective and time-efficient virtual classrooms.
