The increasing  number of patients recovering  from the COVID-19  and the decreasing number of people exposed to the infection seemed to raise the community’s hopes for  returning to face-to-face learning. Some schools have slowly implemented face-to-face learning. Teachers sincerely hope to optimize face-to-face learning soon. However, there are still pros and cons over face-to-face learning for fear of schools turning into COVID-19 clusters. The teachers complained about  various online learning problems, so they   applied  for  permission to conduct  face-to-face learning. The purpose of this research is to understand  teachers’ experiences in  online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, including  positive and negative experiences  as well as  obstacles in the online learning during the pandemic. This study uses descriptive qualitative research methods, with data collection technique conducted through documentation studies as well as interviews with five kindergarten and elementary school teachers. The selection of research subjects used purposive sampling. The results of this study  revealed that the  teachers had  extraordinary experiences, both  negative and positive. The negative experiences during online learning are related to confusion, culture shock, dissatisfaction, stress, fatigue, and overwhelm, while the positive experiences are related to the ease of attending meetings simultaneously, carrying out activities at home and gaining new knowledge, especially in communication technology. Barriers and challenges experienced by teachers in  online learning during the pandemic are  technical and non-technical in nature.

Pada saat pembelajaran tatap muka, self confidence merupakan faktor pendorong terjadinya interaksi yang baik di dalam kelas pada saat belajar. Di Indonesia, pembelajaran tatap muka secara langsung (luring) telah lama digantikan pembelajaran secara daring akibat pandemi Covid-19 yang melanda sejak akhir tahun 2019. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan self confidence mahasiswa ditinjau dari hasil belajar statistika dasar pada pembelajaran daring. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Penelitian ini akan dilaksanakan di STIE Gentiaras Lampung dengan subjek penelitiannya adalah mahasiswa semester dua Tahun Akademik 2020/2021 yang telah selesai mengampu mata kuliah Statistika Dasar dengan pembelajaran daring. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah kuesioner self confidence dan tes hasil belajar statistika dasar. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan menggunakan tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil dari penelitian ini dimana terjadi saat pembelajaran daring yaitu:1) mahasiswa dengan hasil belajar Statistika Dasar  tinggi tidak ada yang memiliki self confidence tinggi dan rendah namun sebanyak 100% memiliki self confidence sedang; 2) mahasiswa dengan hasil belajar Statistika Dasar  sedang tidak ada yang memiliki self confidence rendah  namun sebanyak 4,285714% memiliki self confidence tinggi serta sebanyak 72,85714% memiliki self confidence sedang; 3) mahasiswa dengan hasil belajar Statistika Dasar  rendah tidak ada yang memiliki self confidence tinggi dan rendah  namun sebanyak 12,85714% memiliki self confidence sedang. Kata kunci :Hasil Belajar, Self Confidence, Statistika Dasar ABSTRACT Learning outcomes of basic statistics which are part of mathematics are strongly influenced by self-confidence. At the time of face-to-face learning, self-confidence is a driving factor for good interaction in the classroom during learning. In Indonesia, face-to-face learning directly (offline) has long been replaced by online learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has hit since the end of 2019. The purpose of the study was to analyze and describe student self-confidence in terms of the results of learning basic statistics in online learning. This type of research is qualitative with a descriptive approach.

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all sectors of human activity, including the education sector. The pandemic forced learning activities to be carried out online (online). Of course this is a new habit especially at the elementary school level where the learning process is carried out face-to-face in full. In overcoming these problems, various distance learning media in the form of applications were introduced to students and parents. However, there is an application that is familiarly used by students and parents of students that can be used for the online learning process, namely the Whatsapp application. The purpose of this study is to look at the online learning process in elementary schools during the Covid-19 pandemic era. This study uses a qualitative approach with survey research methods. The research subjects were teachers of SDN 1 Kalipasung in Cirebon Regency as well as research informants. The data collection technique was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews related to the process of implementing online learning for elementary school teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The activity of analyzing and presenting research data is carried out descriptively. The results of this study are Online Learning in Elementary Schools During the Covid 19 Pandemic Era, especially at SDN Kalipasung 1 when viewed from the learning process, it is only used as a means of sending assignments, but the learning process does not involve WhatsApp media completely. In the aspect of supervision, the teacher is also not fully able to monitor the student learning process, as a result, the teacher must cooperate with parents in conducting supervision. The responses of parents and students related to the online learning process stated that they wanted to return to carrying out normal learning (face to face) as usual because they felt they were not used to online learning. Abstrak Pendemi Covid-19 telah mempengaruhi segala sektor aktifitas kegiatan manusia, termasuk sektor pendidikan. Pandemi tersebut memaksa kegiatan pembelajaran dilakukan secara dalam jaringan (daring). Tentu ini menjadi kebiasan baru apalagi di jenjang sekolah dasar yang mana proses pembelajaran dilakukan secara tatap muka secara penuh. Dalam mengatasi permasalah tersebut, berbagai media pembelajaran jarak jauh dalam bentuk aplikasi mulai diperkenalkan kepada siswa maupun orangtua siswa. Namun ada aplikasi yang familiar digunakan oleh siswa maupun orang tua siswa yang dapat digunakan untuk proses pembelajaran daring yakni aplikasi Whatsapp. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yakni untuk melihat proses pembelajaran daring di sekolah dasar pada era panedemi Covid – 19. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode penelitian survei. Subjek penelitian ialah guru-guru SDN 1 Kalipasung yang ada di Kabupaten Cirebon sekaligus menjadi informan penelitian. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam (In-depth Interview) terkait proses pelaksanaan pembelajaran daring guru Sekolah Dasar selama pandemik Covid-19. Kegiatan analisis dan penyajian data hasil penelitian dilakukan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini yakni Pembelajaran Daring di Sekolah Dasar  Pada Era Pandemi Covid 19 khususnya di SDN Kalipasung 1 jika ditinjau dari proses pembelajarannya hanya dijadikan sebagai sarana pengiriman tugas, tetapi proses pembelajaran tidak melibatkan media whatsapp sepenuhnya. Dalam aspek pengawasan juga tidak sepenuhnya guru dapat memantau proses belajar siswa, alhasil guru harus bekerjasama dengan orang tua dalam melakukan pengawasan. Adapun respon orangtua siswa dan siswa terkait dengan proses pembelajaran daring menyatakan ingin kembali melaksanakan pembelajaran secara normal (tatap muka) seperti biasa karena merasa belum terbiasa dengan pembelajaran daring.

COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted teaching in a vriety of institutions. It has tested the readiness of academic institutions to deal with such abrupt crisis. Online learning has become the main method of instruction during the pandemic in Jordan. After 4 months of online education, two online surveys were distributed to investigate faculty’s and Students’ perception of the learning process that took place over that period of time with no face to face education. In this regard, the study aimed to identify both faculty’s and students’ perceptions of online learning, utilizing two surveys one distributed to 50 faculty members and another 280 students were selected randomly to explore the effectiveness, challenges, and advantages of online education in Jordan. The analysis showed that the common online platforms in Jordan were Zoom, Microsoft Teams offering online interactive classes, and WhatsApp in communication with students outside the class. The study found that both faculty and students agreed that online education is useful during the current pandemic. At the same time, its efficacy is less effective than face-to-face learning and teaching. Faculty and students indicated that online learning challenges lie in adapting to online education, especially for deaf and hard of hearing students, lack of interaction and motivation, technical and Internet issues, data privacy, and security. They also agreed on the advantages of online learning. The benefits were mainly self-learning, low costs, convenience, and flexibility. Even though online learning works as a temporary alternative due to COVID-19, it could not substitute face-to-face learning. The study recommends that blended learning would help in providing a rigorous learning environment.
