Learning Javanese during the Covid-19 pandemic experienced several challenges. On the one hand, it is hoped that this lesson will remain strong as an entry point for the inheritance of noble character through language preservation. While on the other hand, learning Javanese, like a common phenomenon that is also faced by other subjects in schools in Indonesia, is experiencing difficulties due to online learning. This study reveals the phenomena, obstacles, and opportunities of learning Javanese, although in some cases it can also be generalized to other subjects. The design of this study was qualitative, using questionnaires and interviews with parents. This research shows that with the various difficulties faced in learning during the pandemic, face-to-face meetings and conventional learning such as the period before the Covid-19 pandemic were considered irreplaceable. However, our elaboration study shows something else. Learning that is more flexible and involves information technology should be paid more attention to equip students to develop more.

Sekitar 25 juta anak di Indonesia kini belajar di bawah ancaman pandemi Covid-19. Seperti dilakukan oleh banyak negara, untuk mencegah penularan virus corona di sekolah, Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan menerbitkan surat edaran bertanggal 24 Maret 2020 yang mengatur pelaksanaan pendidikan pada masa darurat penyebaran coronavirus. Kebijakan “Belajar dari Rumah” ini tepat untuk mencegah penyebaran Covid-19 di lingkungan sekolah, namun survei menunjukkan implementasinya masih beragam di lapangan. Meski ada banyak kekurangan, namun juga begitu banyak inovasi yang telah dihasilkan oleh guru terkait dengan pembelajaran daring. Namun, semua inovasi itu terpublikasikan dan terekam yang kelak menggambarkan realitas pendidikan masa kini. Merdeka Belajar yang telah digaungkan oleh Mendikbud juga menemukan konteksnya ketika masa pandemi ini. Terlebih lagi, semangat menulis mesti dihadapkan pada realitas bahwa kompetensi menulis guru belum sesuai harapan.  Pelatihan ini bertujuan untuk melatih para guru menulis artikel ilmiah populer sebagai sarana guru mempromosikan inovasi pembelajaran yang dilakukan pada masa pandemi Covid-19.
