INTRODUCTION

A. Background

The development of internet technology has given rise to various new

applications, including applications for education. One of the benefits of internet
technology in the field of education is as a means of learning. Technology in the field
of learning is known as e-learning. The learning process that is usually carried out in
the classroom can be done via the internet remotely without having to face to face.
Through this technology the teacher teaches in front of a computer that is in one place,
while the students follow the lesson from another computer in a different place at the
same time or not at the same time.

Since 2014 the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs, the Directorate
General of Higher Education has developed the Indonesian Open and Integrated
Online Learning program (PDITT), which was launched on October 15, 2014 by Vice
President Boediono. 18 September 2016, changed its name to the Online Learning
System (SPADA).

Indonesia's SPADA program is basically the implementation of the Law of the

Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System,
Law no. 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education, and Regulation of the Minister of
Education and Culture Number 109 of 2013 concerning the Implementation of
Distance Education in Higher Education. The development of information and
communication technology is currently very fast. Technological developments have
changed students and teachers in carrying out learning and teaching activities more
quickly and practically. So that SPADA should be used by students and lecturers as a
fast and easy online learning media.

Where in Permendikbud 109 of 2013, states that one of the scopes of distance
education is the scope of courses. One of the goals of the SPADA Indonesia program
is to increase equitable access to quality learning in higher education. With an online
learning system, SPADA Indonesia provides opportunities for students from one
particular university to be able to take certain quality courses from other universities
and their learning outcomes can be recognized equally by the college where the
student is enrolled.

In scientific journals published unj.ac.id, according to Laster, 2005; Mullinix &

McCurry, 2003; Simpson & Payne, 1999 in Gautreau (2011): “An LMS is a web
based software consisting of courses that contain electronic tools including a
discussion board, files, grade book, electronic mail, announcements, assessments, and
multimedia elements. An LMS provides access to student-centered teaching
 approaches, increased accessibility, assessment and evaluation features, and improved
management of course content and administration tasks.”

Meanwhile, according to Amiroh (2012: 1) Learning Management System (LMS)

or Course Management System (CMS), also known as Virtual Learning Environment
(VLE) is a software application used by educators, both universities / colleges and
schools as media internet-based online learning (e-learning).

The author's interest in LMS, especially SPADA, is because I have used SPADA
so I want to know what other students think about SPADA itself.

B. Definition of Key Terms

Title of this proposal “English Major Student Perception On the Use of

SPADA as a Learning Management System (LMS) at UHO”. In order to avoid
misunderstandings and maintain wrong assumptions about this thesis, the writer first
explains each term contained in it, so that the reader can understand it well.

Perception is a response to something that is seen or heard, or it can also be

meaningful as a process of observing an object using the five senses. According to
Robbins (2003: 97) which describes that perception is an impression obtained by
individuals through the five senses then analyzed (organized), interpreted and then
evaluated, so that the individual obtains meaning. Meanwhile, perception according to
Desirato: Perception is the experience of objects, events, or relationships obtained by
concluding information and interpreting messages. Messages can be regarded as
giving meaning to sensory stimuli (sensory stimuli).
So based on the definition above, the student's perception in question is the
opinion of a student majoring in English education at UHO regarding how to integrate
our application of things around the individual with existing impressions or concepts,
and then recognize these objects.

Sistem Pembelajaran Daring (SPADA) is a program of the Directorate General of

Learning and Student Affairs of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher
Education (Kemenristek Dikti) which aims to increase equitable access to quality
learning in higher education (Drs. Mulyo Wiharto, MM in the article entitled SISTEM
PEMBELAJARAN DARING (SPADA) DI PERGURUAN TINGGI)

Learning Management System (LMS) according to Ellis (2009:1) is a software

for administrative purposes, documentation, reports on an activity, teaching and
learning activities and online activities, e-learning and training materials, all of which
are done using on line. Furthermore, Riyadi (2010:1) explains that LMS is software
used to create web-based online lecture materials and manage learning activities and
their results. In the LMS there are also features that can meet all user needs in terms of
learning. These features include administration, delivery of materials and easy access
 to reference sources, assessments, online exams, feedback collection and
communication which includes online discussion forums, discussion mailing lists, and
chat.

Based on the explanations above, the proposal entitled : “English Major Student
Perception On the Use of SPADA as a Learning Management System (LMS) at
UHO” is a field research that discusses students' opinions on the use of SPADA as a
Learning Management System (LMS), besides being an online learning site for
English education students at UHO, besides that, the author also wants to know
whether SPADA can be a learning media that makes it easier for English education
students at UHO.

current situation, regarding the subject that we are studying. Through this descriptive
research, the researcher will explain the students' actual perceptions about the use of
SPADA.

C. Population and Sample

1. Population
According to Sugiyono (1997: 57), the population is a generalization area
consisting of objects and subjects that have certain quantities and characteristics
determined by researchers to be studied and then drawn conclusions. The population
in this study will be all students of the UHO English Education Department batch
2021.
 2. Sample

D. Research Instrument

In this study, the instrument will use questionnaire. Questionnaire is a technique

of collecting data through forms containing questions submitted in writing to a person
or group of people to get answers or responses and information needed by researchers
(Mardalis: 66). This study will uses a questionnaire, the list of questions is structured
in the form of multiple choice questions and open-ended questions. This method is
used to obtain data of English Major Students Perception on the Use of SPADA as a
Learning Management System (LMS).

E. Technique of Data Collection

1. Questionnaires
The most apparent way to get data from people, both quantitatively and
qualitatively, is by asking them questions. Accordingly, although questionnaires can
also be used to gather qualitative data, they are particularly well suited for gathering
quantitative data. This process of gathering data is frequently referred to as a survey
(Kamaluddin, A Lio, Nunia, 2022)

2. Observation
Researchers have an active role in certain environmental situations. That is by
observing research informants and then researchers actively conducting interviews
with informants to obtain complete information and data (Ruslan, 2010:36).

3. Documentation
Documentation is useful as a complement to the users of data collection
techniques by observation and interviews. Documentation is a record of events that
have passed. Documentation can be in the form of writing, pictures, or monumental
works of someone. This is taken by researchers in order to obtain more authentic data.
The documentation is in the form of writings in the form of notes, books,
manuscripts, material texts, documents or archives. Related to the discussion of this
research. From the documentation, the writer will use it to collect data. By studying
written material so that it can assist the author in finding information related to
research problems (Rahmah, 2013:13-14).
