E-Learning and Academic Performance during Covid-19: The Case of Teaching Integral Calculus

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of implementing integral calculus lectures which were originally very suitable in face-to-face delivery, but during the Covid-19 pandemic situation, these were delivered online through e-learning. This research analyzes the correlation between self-efficacy, creativity perception, and productive disposition towards academic performance using path analysis and was modeled in the form of regression equation. This study involved 108 students (35 males and 72 females) at a university in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The research instrument used was questionnaire of self-efficacy (11 items), creativity perception (15 items) and mathematical disposition (14 items). All research variable items had a Pearson correlation (r) greater than 0.25, so all items were said to be valid. The reliability coefficient of Cronbach's Alpha for self-efficacy, perceived creativity, and productive disposition were included in the high category. The results showed a correlation between self-efficacy and creativity perception with regard to productive disposition. There was also a direct correlation between self-efficacy and academic performance. Creativity perception did not show a direct influence on academic performance nor. Productive disposition had a direct influence on academic performance. There was a correlation between self-efficacy, creativity perception, and productive disposition of academic performance. Self-efficacy (happy to help other friends, dare to face criticism and challenges, and dare to compete to win a competition) had the largest contribution to academic performance while creativity perception (creative ideas must be sophisticated and complex, creative people have high curiosity, creative people find it difficult to accept different opinions from others, creativity can only be developed in certain people, and creativity comes over by chance) has the smallest one. These findings can be used as first step in understanding creative perception as a weak contribution to cognitive abilities about academic performance, even though creativity has an important role in developing mathematics performance. Contribution/Originality:The originality of this study lies in it investigating the impact of implementing integral calculus lectures through e-learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. It shows how the application of elearning can encourage students to engage and manage learning independently and learn in a practical way. Factors like self-efficacy and perception of creativity have been analyzed to determine how they affected students' academic performance.

The Effect of Integrated Learning Management Systems FLearn in Improving Learning Outcomes at Universities during Online Learning

“…Through an interconnected system, students find it easier to find class schedules, assignments, and bills from the learning process. In addition to the learning process, system integration plays a role in evaluating the learning process carried out by lecturers so that students have the right to evaluate the implementation of learning [22], [23].…”

Deskripsi Disposisi Matematis Mahasiswa pada Mata Kuliah Kalkulus 1

“…Sikap percaya diri, tekun ingin tahu dalam mencari solusi dari suatu tantangan yang dihadapi akan terwujud dalam diri seseorang yang memiliki disposisi matematis positif (Nurfitriyanti, 2017;Fatimah & Sundayana, 2022). Polking menjelaskan salah satu ciri dari disposisi matematis adalah adanya efikasi, fleksibility dan curiousity pada seseorang yang belajar matematika (Trisnowali, 2015;Ramdani, Mohamed, & Syam, 2021;Berliana & Sholihah, 2022).…”

The Impact of the Use of Microsoft Mathematics Calculus Visualization on Student's Attitude

“…By analyzing the content to be transmitted and presented, as well as the potential for collaborative solutions, Transmission technologies help teachers in thinking, understanding, and production. Lecture tools like as interactive boards, Microsoft PowerPoint, the internet, and collaboration programmes (computer-generated classes in which participants can collaborate), as well as measuring, monitoring, and delivery systems, are among these technologies (formative assessment, personal screen application) (Irvine, 2020;Ramdani, Mohamed, & Syam, 2021). The other relates to technological techniques that enable students to do mathematical activities or respond to user behaviors in mathematical ideas in a standardized manner.…”
