Dampak Pandemi Covid-19 Terhadap Dunia


Pendidikan

Currently the world is shocked by the outbreak of a disease caused by a virus


called corona or known as covid-19 (Corona Virus diseases-19).

The virus that was allegedly started to plague December 31, 2019 in Wuhan
City, Hubei Province, China, is now spreading almost everywhere in the world
very quickly, so WHO on March 11, 2020 established this outbreak as a global
pandemic.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been exposed to this virus around the
world, and even tens of thousands have died. Noted countries that have high
cases of exposure to co-19 today are Italy, China, Spain, the United States, and
Iran with death rates reaching thousands of people. Very fast transmission and
the difficulty of detecting people who are exposed because the incubation
period of covid-19 is approximately two weeks is the cause of many casualties.

Transmission through contact between humans is difficult to predict because


social activities that can not be avoided is the biggest cause of the spread of this
co-19. An antidote that hasn't been found yet and the number of patients
exposed to covid-19 is the highest cause of death. Hospitals and paramedics
who menagani feel overwhelmed so much
patients that are not handled properly.

Difficult Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for paramedics causes patients to


fall including doctors and other paramedics who are also exposed
covid-19 so he finally died.

The complexity of the handling of this epidemic has led world leaders to adopt
super policies
tight to break the chain of distribution of covid-19. Social distancing becomes a
tough choice for every country in implementing policies to prevent the spread of
co-19, because
this policy has a negative impact on all aspects of life.

Restrictions on social interaction


society can inhibit the rate of growth and progress in various fields of life, but
there is no other choice, because this method is the most effective.

Social distancing policies have a fatal impact on the wheels of human life, the
economic problems that are most felt the impact, because it touches various
layers of society, the slowing down of the economic pace results in the closure
of the primary human needs to fulfill it, because the state will be very burdened
if it has to bear all the basic needs of each population.

No exception to the education sector also affected by this policy. The sudden
decision of the government to dismiss or move the learning process from school
/ madrasa to at home, has made many parties confused.

The unpreparedness of school / madrasah stakeholders to carry out online


learning is a major factor in this chaos, even though the government is actually
providing alternative solutions in assessing students as a condition of promotion
or graduation from an educational institution in an emergency as it is today.

The transition to this way of learning forces various parties to follow the flow if
possible
taken so that learning can take place, and the choice is the use of technology as
a medium of online learning. Use this technology too
actually not without problems, many factors that inhibit the implementation of
effectiveness
online learning includes:

1. Technology mastery is still low.

It must be acknowledged that not all technology literate teachers, especially


generation X teachers (born 1980 and below) who at the time of their use of
technology were not so massive.

Actually they are not able to if they want to learn, they must be able to because
the principle is the teacher is human
learners who must always be ready to face the changing times while following
their development.
The situation is almost the same for students, not all are accustomed to using
technology in their daily lives.

Even in schools they have to fight in using learning support technology because
of the limited facilities owned by schools / madrasas, maybe even they are not
introduced to technology in
learning.

2. Limited facilities and infrastructure


The ownership of technology supporting devices is also a problem. It is not a
public secret that the welfare of teachers is still very low, so that in spite of
meeting these things, to meet the basic needs of their families, there are still
many teachers who struggle.

The same thing happened to students, because not all of their parents were able
to provide technological facilities to their children. Even if they have facilities
but they are not used for learning support media, because of parents' ignorance
in guiding their children to use technology in learning.

3. Internet network
Online learning cannot be separated from the use of the internet network. Not
all schools / madrasas are connected to the internet so that the teachers are also
in their daily lives
not used to using it. Even if someone uses a cellular network, sometimes the
network is unstable because of the geographical location which is still far from
the reach of cellular signals.

4. Cost
The internet network that is needed in online learning is a problem for teachers
and students. The quota purchased for internet needs has increased and many of
the teachers and parents of students are not ready to increase the budget for
providing internet networks.

This online learning method is actually not new, because in some countries
especially in developed countries this activity is used. The learning process in
tertiary institutions especially, not only abroad but in Indonesia is also used to
being implemented, however
for learning at the level of elementary and secondary education units is not yet
so popular that it takes real preparation to run well.

The development of the times will require changes in civilization, and this will
have an impact on the way or methods of learning that are commonly done.

In an age of technology such as today, it does not rule out the possibility of
Teaching and Learning Process (PBM) will be carried out later online, given the
effectiveness in the activities of transfer of knowledge that is very good, fast,
easy and inexpensive.

Changes in civilization and this method requires educational stakeholders to


prepare themselves to follow the development of the era as it is today. Nobody
can
refute or reject the rapid development of this technology, even if someone
rejects it, then get ready to be left behind, even be crushed by others.
Technology is like two blades, each of which has an equal role, namely the
positive and negative sides that have an influence on changes in human
civilization.

All aspects of life today cannot be separated from technology, therefore


technology literacy is very important for society, so that the use of technology is
truly beneficial without harming and also has a negative impact on the order of
life.

Specifically in the field of education, this technological literacy needs to be


learned by all education stakeholders, especially in its use as the current online
learning media
on going. The things that need to be understood and realized by educational
stakeholders include:
1. Parents
True children's education is the absolute responsibility of parents, because in the
future even parents will be held accountable for their respective children.

PBM activities that are carried out online force parents to be directly involved
in their children's learning activities, a lot of experiences they feel when they
have to accompany them.

Crowded in various social media that tells their experiences while


accompanying their children to learn both positive and negative. Like for
example it turns out there are parents who are often angry because of having
their children who are difficult to manage so they can't stand it and want their
child to study again at school.
This incident gave awareness to parents that it was not easy to educate children,
it requires enormous knowledge and patience.

So with this incident


parents must realize and know how to guide their children
in learning, it is hoped that after getting this experience parents want to learn
how to educate their children at home.

Home is the first and foremost place in educating children, therefore with the
implementation of online learning when children will be more at home and
they need guidance from their parents. The function of the house is now
increasing, namely as a school, parents must learn how to educate and provide
knowledge to children, because the function of the teacher or school is only as a
facilitator.
2. Teacher
Online learning must be an awareness for teachers that their current role is
teachers who only transfer knowledge will one day be replaced by more
sophisticated teachers, namely machine teachers.

The media to gain knowledge now is very much


many, do not depend on the teacher alone even there are still many limitations.
Nowadays there are many media that can play the role of teacher, and there are
even the terms human teacher and machine teacher. Technology can play a role
as a teacher, well this teacher is called a machine teacher, science
very much knowledge can be learned using machines, let's say the media is the
internet.
3. Government
The role of government is very important in determining policies related to the
national education system. All educational institutions must obey and obey the
rules
determined, because national education has the same goal in efforts to build the
nation. In an emergency situation such as the current pandemic covid-19, the
government quickly issued a policy regarding the implementation of online
learning that must be carried out by every educational institution, even though
the rules are not binding.

In other situations, this policy might be continued from another perspective.


Technological advances that allow for the implementation of online learning,
also see the culture of people who are technologically literate, it is not
impossible that this policy will continue and become a decree made by the
government to be implemented. And me again-
again believing that this method will be the usual method in PBM in the future.

The government must have prepared rules to establish this policy, because it
pays attention to the global community that cannot be separated from
technology / internet at this time.
Indonesia inevitably has to follow the current trend if it doesn't want to be left
behind
by other countries.

After establishing this policy the government should also pay attention to
supporting devices so that people can follow this policy well without negative
excesses and create new problems, because of the diversity of economic, social,
geographic and other factors that exist in Indonesia.
