Abstract

Education field is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic which also affects how universities, schools, companies and communities function. One area that has been significantly affected is education at all levels, including both undergraduate and graduate. COVID-19 pandemic emphasis the psychological status of the students since they changed their learning environment. E-learning process focuses on electronic means of communication and online support communities, however social networking sites help students manage their emotional and social needs during pandemic period which allow them to express their opinions without controls. The paper will propose a Sentiment Analysis Model that will analyze the sentiments of students in the learning process with in their pandemic using Word2vec technique and Machine Learning techniques.The sentiment analysis model will start with the processing process on the student's sentiment and selects the features through word embedding then uses three Machine Learning classifies which are Naïve Bayes, SVM and Decision Tree. Results including precision, recall and accuracy of all these classifiers are described in this paper. The paper helps understand the Egyptian student's opinion on learning process during COVID-19 pandemic.
