The Reality and Role of Teachers in E-Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic period forced us all to adapt to the new environment, in the field of education to respond to this situation the government issued a learning policy from home based e-learning. Teachers as educators inevitably apply e-learning in carrying out the learning process. This article is a research literature article that tries to describe the phenomenon of e-learning in the covid-19 period. This article aims to explain the reality of e-learning being carried out during this pandemic, and how teachers carry out their role in e-learning based learning. During the pandemic, e-learning had been carried out in most schools in Indonesia, but most of the teachers carried out e-learning only to give assignments to children, and to complete curriculum achievements. Teachers tend to use one-way learning media and are not interactive so the teacher's role as a child's learning guide is very minimal due to closed interactions. Evaluation of the implementation of e-learning is needed so that teachers are able to be more creative in using more interactive learning media, so as not to degrade the teacher's role as a child's learning guide.
