Educational Transformation: An Evaluation of Online Learning Due To COVID-19

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the transformation of offline learn-ing to online learning due to Covid-19 in student perceptions. The massive impact on the education sector requires the provision of education to adapt to situations and conditions. This research was conducted at one of the state universities in Indonesia, with the selection of informants based on the rep-resentation of each department at the university. The method in this re-search uses a narrative approach. The data were collected through interviews that were set up online. The research data was processed based on the results of studies and focus group discussions (FGD) related to the implementation of online learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The results showed that the implementation of learning was welcomed by the students, in their per-ception that online learning was considered to be more flexible, efficient and effective in the use of time as well as in terms of costs and energy. It cannot be denied that the implementation of online learning still encounters various obstacles and challenges, including: interaction is not optimal, schedule and lecture estimates change, inadequate facilities, and the use of learning media is not optimal.
