Sentiment Analysis to Measure Public Response to Online Education During Coronavirus Pandemic

ABSTRACT

Corona virus (Covid-19) has infected the world with huge impacts and changes that were not imagined, in large sectors such as the economy and education. The education sector is considered an important sector for all societies due to its desired impact on the future of generations. The increasing and rapid spread and precautionary measures have led to the search for suitable alternatives for the continuation of education to ensure that students receive appropriate education and are not affected scientifically or psychologically in the event of dropping out of education. This study seeks to examine the extent to which the community accepts distance learning as a precaution by employing the sentiment analysis of Twitter's tweets as one of the most popular social media. This method is considered effective due to its ability to access the community's tweets quickly and at a low cost.
