LECTURE METHODS DURING THE PANDEMIC

ABSTRACT

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by acute

respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-COV-2), which causes a dramatic loss of
human life around the world and presents unprecedented challenges for public health,
economy, education, food system, and the world of work. Indonesia is one of the
countries infected with the spread of SARS-COV-19 virus so that efforts made by the
government in Indonesia one of them by applying an appeal to the public to do
physical distancing is an appeal to keep distance, stay away from activities in all
forms of crowds, gatherings, and avoid meetings that so that people should remain
silent at home to break the corona virus chain so as not to spread.

I. INTRODUCTION
The spread of Sars-Cov-19 virus in Indonesia has a big impact on the world of
education in universities. The Minister of Education through Circular Letter of The
Minister of Education No. 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education in
the Emergency Period of Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19), wants all students to get
optimal education services but still prioritize health protocols to break the chain of
Covid-19 as much as possible. This condition makes universities apply a policy of
lecture process that was originally conventional (face-to-face in the classroom) must
 be transformed into online lectures that can be done without limited place and time.
This pandemic requires all institutions, without exception to use digital media
facilities in their learning activities to the fullest extent possible. Universities are
competing to explore effective ways of transmitting their teaching systems. The
development of increasingly sophisticated technology accommodates and mobilizes
this lecture system.

II. LEARNING FROM HOME BY ONLINE METHODS

Universities are implementing new learning models to keep lectures running
optimally such as Blended Learning or Temporary Online Lectures (POST). Blended
learning is a blend of online and conventional forms of learning (face-to-face). This
model combines many conventional learning methods (lectures and face-to-face) with
self-learning methods (projects, assignments, and labs) and POST is an Online
Learning System service in various ways (synchronous and asynchronous) organized
to follow up on the decision of changing the lecture model from face-to-face to online
lectures both the same as E learning, ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) and Multimedia. This learning model can be used as an alternative
during the transition to complete online learning.

Learning can also be done live event, i.e. face-to-face learning at the same place and
time (classroom) or at different times but in the same place (virtual classroom).
Lecturers and students can do online learning face-to-face by utilizing applications
such as google meeting and zoom. Online Lectures provide students with the
opportunity to learn independently according to their learning style. The combination
of face-to-face lectures and online lectures will provide a more interactive learning
experience. A larger portion of online lectures can also make it easier for students to
get various forms of learning materials that can be accessed anytime and anywhere
with the internet.
 The learning process will also be more fun and not monotonous, because using
learning methods and media is more varied. Learning can also be done in Self-Paced
Learning, which combines conventional learning with independent learning that is
not limited to time, place, and access to learning materials. Materials that are
conceptual or understanding can be presented in the form of text or multimedia, while
material that is procedural or requires practice in the laboratory can be presented in
the form of animation or computer-based simulation. Students can do practical
activities such as in a real laboratory with the help of a virtual laboratory.

However, this media still has limitations, which can only be used as tutorial
material. Students still need hands-on practice in the laboratory to prove various
theories and phenomena that have been studied. All teaching materials can be sent
online in the form of video streaming, audio streaming or e-books that can be
accessed through Module, YouTube or Google Classroom There are vulnerabilities in
the implementation of existing emergency lecture systems. The penetration of the
internet network is not evenly distributed to all regions. Based on data from the
Central Bureau of Statistics in 2019, the rate of internet penetration in the countryside
averaged 51.91 percent, in urban areas also averaged 78.08 percent. This indicates
low network quality and has an impact on the slow loading lecture process. The
effectiveness and quality of lectures is low and difficult to understand quickly. Social
media ownership is standard with online adoption. Ownership of distance learning
media is also still very lacking. Surely the media or means become decisive. If it is
still very lacking, there will not even be an online system.

field confirms the inevitable obstacles. This is still a deadly scourge for the online
learning process. We need to realize that not all students come from upper-middle-
class families. Not all students and teachers in Indonesia enjoy this 'millennial'
 process. Not all of them have gadgets and laptops. Some have but it is difficult to get
internet access. Even in certain areas there is no internet network found. Some don't
have both. The intensity of interest in the online learning system certainly makes a
person unproductive and chooses to be absent.

In fact, presence is one of the benchmarks in helping the internalization process of

education in learning activities. From sharing many students, most have chosen to go
home and vacation. There's no college. Lectures are burdensome because they need
data and have to find a good place to connect. Online lectures in other words increase
the burden of lectures because they have to buy data in order to enter the video-
conference class and download lecture assignments. Save writers, the online lecture
system in the middle of the pandemic is a solution and at the same time an escape.
Why is that? It can be said that the solution if the university or faculty has provided
input and skill practice in the penetration of various "E-learning"facilities.

III. CONCLUSION
The strengthening of the facilities and skills of teachers is one of the important
standards in online lectures The capabilities and creativity of lecturers are one of the
biggest demands in the online or remote lecture system on the one hand. On the other
hand, perseverance, seriousness of students become another demand. However, both
are inseparable from the network or connection. This is certainly one of the
determining factors in the implementation of online lectures. This system is actually a
switch of the face to face method to the screen to screen method. This pandemic
encourages us to adapt to a new state or the new normal. Students and lecturers are
also adapting to online lectures. Online lectures should be part of the humanitarian
appeal. Universities have principles of humanity. That is, the practice of humanity's
solidarity and solidarity in the midst of the pandemic can be carried out through
online lectures. This system is actually a switch of the face to face method to the
screen to screen method. This pandemic encourages us to adapt to a new state or the
new normal. Students and lecturers are also adapting to online lectures. The space to
peddle cyberspace or online is growing. We are optimistic about global education
through networking. Online lectures are also a criticism of the government to
organize the community and provide a clear education to be free from the shackles of
educational backwardness.
