This study aimed to explore the student\u27s challenges and motivations in online learning at DLSHSI. The chosen sample of population are 222 Grade 11 students of DLSHSI. The study adapted the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) to gather information concerning the challenges and motivations of the students. Results classified the challenges and motivations of e-learning into 7 general categories. The challenges include the time and study environment, effort regulation, and metacognitive self-regulation, the mean of the three categories ranges to 4.44 – 5.29, it means that most of the statements reflects the respondents in a moderate extent. While the motivations are classified into 4 categories namely, intrinsic, and extrinsic goal motivations, self-efficacy for learning and performance which ranges from 4.44 – 5.29, hence, most of the statements reflects the respondents in a moderate extent. While task value ranges from 5.30 – 6.15, meaning the respondents is in accordance with the statements.
