Investigation of Primary School Teacher Readiness in Online Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Changing the learning system during the pandemic period from offline to online requires teachers' readiness, including elementary school teachers. Demands for mastery of technology in learning and the characteristics of elementary school students who need direct guidance in learning are teachers' problems. However, not all primary school teachers are ready for technology-based online learning. This study aims to investigate the readiness of primary school teachers in online learning in terms of three aspects, namely cognitive (knowledge and perception), affective (emotional condition), and moral (skills). The research method uses a mixed-method with data collection techniques using a questionnaire deepened by interviews. The research respondents were 22 elementary school teachers in Tlekung village, Junrejo district, Batu City. Data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis and qualitative analysis. The results showed that the teacher had a low readiness to carry out online learning in general. The level of primary school teachers' readiness to carry out online learning still needs to be improved, especially in the knowledge and skills factor by providing online learning training experiences.

“…This covid-19 virus first occurred in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and came to Indonesia in early 2020, precisely in March. The outbreak of the covid-19 virus has closed various existing institutions, including educational institutions, to interact directly (Haryati et al, 2021;Wahyuni et al, 2021). The closure of this educational institution resulted in a change in the learning system that started face-to-face to now turn into online (Purnamasari et al, 2020;Ridha et al, 2021;Sintema, 2020).…”

Problem-Based Learning: Learning Approach Solutions in Crisis Period

“…PBL was well structured in learning, would require students to express or demonstrate a sharing of skills, such as independent learning, critical thinking, team participation, and critical knowledge acquisition (Dwyer et al, 2014;Suryani et al, 2020;Yunianto et al, 2020). The process in PBL involved a systematic approach to solving problems or facing challenges following real-world situations (Charlton-Perez, 2013;Wahyuni et al, 2021). Independent learning encouraged students to consider what they knew, what they didn't know, and what they might need to know to solve existing problems and similar contextual situations in the future (Albay, 2019;Lawut et al, 2019;Yunianto et al, 2020).…”

Brain-Based Online Learning Design in The Disruptive Era for Students in University

“…Since the advent of online education, numerous educational institutions across the country have incorporated the internet into their teaching and learning processes (Itmeizeh & Farrah, 2021). Datadriven analysis of the implementation of online learning can assist policymakers (schools, government) in streamlining decision-making processes, optimizing resource allocation, monitoring and assisting students experiencing difficulties while online learning, and modifying pedagogical modes and learning methods (Wahyuni et al, 2021). Additionally, in this disruptive era, numerous new innovations have emerged as a result of more capable technology, as many people can obtain information and access knowledge resources without attending a class.…”
