JAMBI – Jambi University re-implemented
online learning activities at the end of January. The implementation of this online learning activity has drawn various views from Jambi University students.
This online learning system is carried out as a way to prevent the spread of
covid-19 in Jambi province. The opinions that have emerged include things such
as the strengths and weaknesses that students feel while participating in this
online lecture activity. Some students
still feel the effectiveness of this online learning, on the other hand there
are still many students who have not felt the effectiveness of this policy.
One of the students of Jambi University, Faculty of Economics, taxation study program, Dila Adelia, said that the advantage she can feel during this online learning is that it can save costs for students such as transportation and housing costs because students can study at their homes without having to pay boarding house fees.
“Students can attend lectures wherever and
whenever they are and can also save on transportation or housing costs,
especially for students who live outside the city who live in a boarding house,
then lecture time is also shorter than conventional lectures and takes a lot of
time at home with family.” she said.
In addition, there are many problems
experienced by students while undergoing this system. Obstacles felt by students such as Internet
dependence, poor signals and lack of social interaction between students. It is almost one year since online learning has
been implemented, signals are the main problem faced by all students in
Indonesia, especially for those who live far from big cities. In this online learning, students also feel
that the knowledge they get is not optimal as when studying face-to-face in the
campus.
“The obstacle that is definitely felt by
students is becoming very dependent on the internet because if it is difficult
for signals it will hinder learning and we cannot attend lectures
properly. Then, there are also some
courses that cannot be taught online such as practicum and in terms of social
interaction it becomes more difficult and becomes accustomed to it alone.” She
said.
“If it is a matter of knowledge, it may
feel less in getting knowledge because sometimes it is constrained by signals
so that the material that can be understood is from 100% maybe only 40% can be
understood” she said.
With the pros and cons of this online learning, issues arise about the implementation of online learning that will continue even after this pandemic is over. Regarding this, many students do not agree with this because the online learning system that has been implemented now is not fully effective and well implemented. “I don't really agree, because I think online learning are less effective ” said Dila, a Jambi university student in her interview.
It is not known how long online learning
will be carried out, but with the many obstacles experienced by students, they
hope that the Covid-19 pandemic will end quickly and offline or face-to-face
learning will be implemented again soon.
