The population of this study was class VII students of SMP Negeri 3 Langsa for the 2021/2022 academic year, with a total of 48 students. They were divided into two groups: 24 students in the experimental group were taught through TikTok content, while 24 students in the control group were taught through conventional methods. This study used a written test as a tool. The t-test formula from SPSS 26 was used to assess the data. Then at a significance level of 0.025 and degrees of freedom (df) of (48), observations show that (3.12 > 2.01) was more significant than t-table (2.01). The findings show that the research hypothesis was correct. TikTok was found as an interactive learning media that can represent what the teacher cannot convey and the learning process will be more effective and efficient. It was also an excellent learning medium because there was a mix of various music, pictures and interesting features so that it was not boring for students.

Abstract

The purposes of this paper were to describe distance learners’ Moodle-based learning experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic and to analyze distance learners’ technological competence through Moodle-based learning experiences. This study used qualitative method to characterize and analyze the digital competence required to maximize the usage of the Moodle platform as a course media. The questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were used in collecting the data. The total of 509 participants responded to the survey and 17 participants were participated in FGD. The results reveal that the students experienced several obstacles in participating in online learning using the Moodle platform. especially for students who live in remote areas, there are many obstacles; starting from the difficulty of getting an internet connection, data limitations due to having to take many courses, and lack of motivation in completing assignments. Furthermore, the findings also show that students have a fairly high level of technological competence. The paper figures out the digital competences owned by the students in facing new tools and exploiting the technological potentials in a flexible way. This study is crucial due to the important of helping students to understand online learning goals which in turn might increase their primary knowledge, technological usage and behaviors. Furthermore, it is also important for institutions to prepare clear policies to develop their learning systems.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted educational systems all over the world. As a result, the employment of technology continues to be controversial, and the debate over whether English teachers actually use technology to boost their talents continues. What amount of digital literacy is imparted by their educational experience, and if they adequately equipped with digital capabilities to meet their daily needs is still arguable. Thus, the demand toward the improvement of digital media is linked to digital literacy, which subsetof digital competence. Along with same line, teachers need to evaluate their readiness to integrate technology in teaching processes. Today, Universitas Terbuka (UT) provides a critical chance for English teachers to help their students develop their English abilities in complicated scenarios like as the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence, the purpose of this study is to assess the digital skills of English teachers and to describe their preparation for and response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In achieving this study's goals, 8 online tutors and 17 students of Online English Department of UT participated in the study. To obtain the data, questionnaireandinterview were used to explore the importance of teacher’s readiness in teaching English,particularly on teachers’ technological competence. The SWOT Analysis was also be analyzed to capture the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats on teacher’s readiness in digital competencies. The results of this study inform decision-makers at UT and the other similar higher education institutions using similar platforms and who may have the same concerns.
