The pandemic due to the Covid-19 virus has had an impact on the world of education where lecture activities that were previously carried out face-to-face are now being shifted to an online system. From the results of the interviews, it is known that students state that online learning is still possible and can be done for theoretical courses apart from giving material and delivering lectures which are not as effective as if learning is done face to face. The main problem with online learning is in courses related to practicum which of course will not be effective if implemented with an online learning system. This research is a quantitative descriptive study that examines the perceptions of sports science faculty students in Indonesia and Malaysia towards online lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic. The instrument used to know student perception is a questionnaire. The questionnaire adopts learning that uses a heutagogy approach. The following are the stages in this research: Checking the questionnaire by experts before it is used, Conducting validity and reliability tests so that a valid and reliable questionnaire is obtained, and Compiling a questionnaire to be uploaded in google form is sent to students simultaneously via WhatsApp. The data taken is primary data or direct data from participants. The results of the study found that most Indonesian and Malaysian students disagreed when online lectures were said to be easier than face-to-face which was indicated by a percentage of 42.4%–51.4%. The results of the Mann-Whitney test comparing the perceptions of Indonesian and Malaysian students obtained Asymp Sig (2-tailed) data of 1.643 (p > 0.05). The conclusion is that there is no significant difference between Indonesian and Malaysian students’ perceptions of online learning. In this case, the majority of students do not agree that online lectures are said to be easier because the system is carried out online. Face-to-face lectures and switching to online lectures are a challenge for lecturers and students to keep lectures running effectively. From this research, it is suggested that the combination by combining face-to-face and online lectures with rescheduling but still following health protocols needs to be done.
