PEMBELAJARAN DARING DI SMA YAYASAN WANITA KERETA API (YWKA) KERTA PATI PALEMBANG PADA MASA PANDEMIK COVID-19

Introduction

Pembelajaran daring di sma yayasan wanita kereta api (ywka) kerta pati palembang pada masa pandemik covid-19. Studi ini mengungkap kendala dan efektivitas pembelajaran daring/luring di SMA YWKA Palembang selama pandemi COVID-19. Menganalisis hasil belajar, pengalaman guru, dan tantangan kepemimpinan sekolah.

Abstract

This study was to determine the obstacles experienced by students, mathematics teachers and leadership elements of SMA YWKA Kertapati Palembang in carrying out online and offline during the covid -19 pandemic in the even semester of the 2020/2021 school year. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method, with mathematics teachers, homeroom teachers, and vice principals in the field of curriculum, as well as students as respondents. The instrument in collecting research data uses: (1) 4-question essay test, to determine learning outcomes of online learning implementation and students' ability to solve equations and quadratic functions, online or offline, (2) Interviews, (3) Questionnaires given to respondents online via google form. Interviews were conducted with the vice principal in the field of curriculum, homeroom teachers, mathematics teachers and 12 students. The results obtained from the ability test to solve questions with an average value of 70.03. The results obtained based on interviews with school leaders and homeroom teachers are that the online implementation has been carried out, but it is still not optimal because there are students who do not have Android phones. The results of interviews with teachers for implementing learning also stated that online was already running, but teachers still had to come to school to serve students who did not have mobile phones. Then for the student questionnaire, it was found that online learning was fun even though there were still obstacles.

Review

The study, titled "PEMBELAJARAN DARING DI SMA YAYASAN WANITA KERETA API (YWKA) KERTA PATI PALEMBANG PADA MASA PANDEMIK COVID-19," investigates the obstacles faced by students, mathematics teachers, and leadership at SMA YWKA Kertapati Palembang during online and offline learning in the 2020/2021 academic year's even semester. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research collected data through a 4-question essay test, interviews, and online questionnaires from mathematics teachers, homeroom teachers, vice principals, and students. The initial findings highlight challenges such as students lacking Android phones, necessitating teachers to provide support at school, while simultaneously indicating that online learning was perceived as enjoyable despite existing hurdles. While the study aims to address a pertinent issue, several methodological aspects require further clarification. The abstract describes a "qualitative descriptive method" but then reports an "average value of 70.03" from an "essay test" designed to assess learning outcomes and the ability to solve equations and quadratic functions. This blend of qualitative and quantitative reporting, without a clear explanation of how the quantitative data is integrated into a qualitative framework or how the qualitative data itself was analyzed (e.g., thematic analysis), creates ambiguity. Furthermore, the description of the 4-question essay test seems minimal for comprehensively evaluating learning outcomes and mathematical problem-solving abilities. The sample size for students participating in the questionnaire is also unspecified, hindering an assessment of the representativeness of those findings. Despite these limitations, the study offers valuable localized insights into the practicalities and challenges of remote education in the specified Indonesian context during the pandemic. The findings regarding digital divide (lack of Android phones) and the adaptive measures taken by teachers (coming to school) are particularly significant for educational policymakers and school administrators. For future publications or expanded research, it would greatly enhance the paper's rigor to explicitly detail the qualitative data analysis methods, clarify the role and methodology behind the quantitative aspects, and elaborate on the specific range of obstacles identified across all stakeholder groups. Providing more comprehensive details about the instruments and respondent numbers for each data collection method would also strengthen the study's overall contribution.
