Synchronous e-learning between the students and teachers could possible via WhatsApp, Web-conferencing, Blackboard Collaborate, Adobe Connect, WebEx, IMO, or Skype. The main objectives of the study are to assess the effects of Synchronous e-learning performance in relations to Thinking skills and Executive functions and Attention benefits of elementary students. Sixty students (n=60) age range 13.2 year-13.8 years, mean age 13.4 and SD 2.1of class VIII in a school was participated in the synchronous e-learning. Non-Equivalent Pre-test-Post-test Quasiexperimental Design was used in this study by following non-randomization and selective manipulation principle. The effectiveness of independent variables (i.e. synchronous e-learning, thinking skills, executive functions, and attention benefits) on the dependent variables (i.e. learning performance) was assessed through pre-test post-test score, where pretest used as the covariate. To minimize the effects of confounding variables, ANCOVA, multiple hierarchical regression analysis and non-randomize sampling techniques were used. The findings of the present study claimed that students perceived benefits to Synchronous e-learning environment.
