Effectiveness of online learning in non-online classes during the pandemic

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that has been going on since the beginning of 2020 has forced governments to take a policy to implement online learning. This policy is an effort to break the chain of virus spread in education clusters. For schools and universities that are not used to carrying out online learning, this condition is a problem. Therefore, measurement is needed to ensure effectiveness. In this study, the effectiveness was measured using the variables specified in the Indonesian Online Learning System (Sistem Pembelajaran Daring (SPADA)) 2019 set by the Indonesian government. Data collection was carried out by quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative analysis was carried out through questionnaires administered to students while qualitative was carried out by interviewing students and lecturers. The data were processed using cross-tabulation analysis and multiple linear regression. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges were analyzed to assess online learning. As research results, it is found that online learning is quite effective, but there are still many things that can be improved to increase the effectiveness of online learning.
