Since year 2020, researchers have conducted research on challenges and perceptions of emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) during the COVID-19 pandemic on students. Many studies were conducted on the effectiveness of online learning, but there is a lack of studies on ERTL where online learning differs from ERTL. Thus, this study aims to identify the challenges and perceptions of students on ERTL during the early COVID-19. The methodology employed in this study are systematic literature review which used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), synthesis analysis and quality appraisal to review 51 selected articles. These articles are from two publishers (ScienceDirect and IEEE) and two databases (ERIC and Scopus). This study revealed that students experienced four types of challenges during the early period of ERTL namely technological, pedagogical, personal, and social issues. However, students have positive perceptions toward ERTL to pursue their studies during the difficult period. This study highlighted the students' challenges and perceptions of ERTL during the COVID-19 pandemic in higher education. It is believed that this study will help future researchers to develop a strategic ERTL specifically for implementation during any crises in the future. Students' Challenges and Perceptions of Emergency Remote Education During the Early COVID-19 PandemicSince the year 2020, researchers have studied students' challenges and perceptions of emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of online learning, but there is a lack of studies how online learning differs from ERTL. Thus, this study aims to identify the challenges and perceptions of students in higher education regarding ERTL during the early COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology employed in this study includes a systematic literature review, which uses Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) as well as synthesis analysis and quality appraisal to review 51 selected articles. These articles are from two publishers (ScienceDirect and IEEE) and two databases (ERIC and Scopus). This study revealed that students experienced four types of challenges during the early period of ERTL, namely, technological, pedagogical, personal, and social issues. However, students have positive perceptions of using ERTL to pursue their studies during this difficult period. It is believed that this study will help future researchers to develop a strategic ERTL specifically for implementation during any crises in the future.
