Self-Introspection in Teaching Students with Virtual Learning in COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Pandemic COVID-19 has changed the learning process to become virtual. One consequence of these changes is related to online learning methods and schemes which in fact experience various technical and substantive constraints. The case study research design was carried out to strengthen the hypothesis that self-introspection is able to make learning more optimal. Learning outcomes before and after self-introspection are measured using thematic content analysis. The results show that there are changes in emotional feelings to be more positive, reduced task load, and reduced stress levels with methods and learning schemes that follow the principle of self-introspection. Thus, this study explains that if every teacher is able to realize the location of deficiencies and errors in the teaching process, it will minimize the occurrence of psychological disorders for students and be able to improve learning outcomes for the better.
