Online learning is a new thing for students and teachers. Because it’s a new thing, some teachers found that there are some challenges that they have to face, to prepare online learning for their students. Not only teachers but pre-service teachers also faced it in their Pre-service Training Programs. There are two research questions in this research: (1) What are pre-service challenges in preparing for online learning? (2) How do the pre-service teachers cope with the challenges in preparing for online learning? In this research, the researcher used a mixed-method in this research. The result showed that the pre-service teachers have faced challenges in making a good interaction, understanding and facing the characteristics of the students, coping with the student’s limitation quota or gadget, anticipating the unstable internet signal and quota, and stress or nervous because it’s their first time preparing online learning. In order to cope with those challenges, the pre-service teacher uses these coping strategies. Pre-service teachers used to interact with students outside the class hour. The school’s teacher helped them in understanding and facing the characteristics of the students. In coping with the student’s limitation of quota or gadgets, the pre-service teacher used to provide the learning content that would consume minimum quotas. They used to provide more than one gadget and internet network. For the last, pre-service teachers used to cope with their stress by telling their friends about their nervous feeling or asking the teacher or lecturer for some advice to cope with their stress.
