Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has affected many sectors of human life, including the educational sector. This situation has forced the government to impose the School-from-Home policy for all levels of education in Indonesia since March 2020. In this situation, teachers need to be aware of this change and adapt to the situation. The use of media in learning matters since the learning process is switched to online learning. Thus, this paper aims to explore the online learning tools utilized by EFL teachers and EFL teachers’ consideration in choosing online learning tools during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed a qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews with five EFL teachers from five different state senior high schools in Yogyakarta Special Region, who have taught English for at least two years and have used online learning tools during the COVID- 19 pandemic. This research found six types of online learning tools used by the EFL teachers: learning management systems, assessment tools, chat and messages, video learning and sharing platform, content maker, and video conferencing tools. Moreover, concerning the teachers’ considerations in utilizing these online learning tools, they explained that they should be easy to use, accessible, cost-effective, interesting, and lightweight.

Abstract

Pendidikan adalah usaha sadar dan sistematis untuk mencapai taraf hidup atau untuk kemajuan lebih baik. Dengan adanya kebijakan pembelajaran secara daring dikarenakan adanya anjuran pemerintah untuk menerapkan social distancing dan dalam rangka mencegah kluster covid-19 di sekolah, maka sekolah-sekolah dituntut agar tetap dapat memberikan pembelajaran efektif kepada peserta didik. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat (abdimas) ini ditujukan untuk mengatasi permasalahan-permasalahan yang muncul dalam pembelajaran daring. Secara lebih spesifik, kegiatan abdimas ini ditujukan untuk membangun pembelajaran daring dengan cara melakukan pendampingan kepada guru-guru di sebuah sekolah menengah atas negeri di Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Metodologi yang dilakukan meliputi mengadakan pelatihan teknis LMS (Learning Management System) kepada tim Informasi dan Teknologi (IT) sekolah, dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan mengadakan Training of Trainer (TOT) kepada 10 orang guru yang akan menjadi mentor bagi para guru-guru di sekolah, dan akhirnya pelatihan penggunaan LMS kepada seluruh guru-guru di sekolah dilakukan sebagai rangkaian akhir dari kegiatan abdimas ini. Hasil dari abdimas ini adalah tersedianya laman pembelajaran daring di sekolah menengah atas negeri di Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta tersebut. Kegiatan abdimas ini membawa implikasi positif terhadap pembelajaran daring di sekolah tersebut. Mengingat bahwa kegiatan abdimas ini sangat dibutuhkan oleh sekolah menengah atas negeri tersebut dan sangat kontekstual dengan situasi pandemi saat ini, maka kegiatan yang sejenis dapat pula direduplikasi dan ditawarkan di sekolah lain.

Abstract

Sekolah sebagai salah satu agen pendidikan yang bertanggung jawab terhadap peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia harus selalu meningkatkan kualitasnya terutama dalam pengajaran. Pandemi Covid-19 menuntut sekolah untuk dapat terus melaksanakan proses KBM dengan baik, meskipun semua dilakukan secara daring. Penggunaan LMS “Mupat Belajar” yang berbasis Moodle dapat menjadi salah satu solusi untuk melaksanakan pembelajaran secara daring. “Mupat Belajar” ini sudah digunakan selama semester ganjil 2020/2021. Akan tetapi, ada beberapa permasalahan yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan “Mupat Belajar” yang harus segera diselesaikan agar tujuan utama dari keberadaan “Mupat Belajar” ini dapat dicapai secara maksimal oleh pihak sekolah, yaitu tampilan awal mata pelajaran yang masih beragam, penggunaan fitur, dan aktifitas di “Mupat Belajar” yang belum maksimal. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan-permasalahan tersebut, dilakukanlah pelatihan dan pendampingan kepada guru-guru di SMA Muhammadiyah 4 Yogyakarta khususnya enam orang tim Informasi dan Teknologi (IT) sekolah dan juga sepuluh orang guru trainer yang telah ditunjuk sekolah. Kegiatan tersebut dilakukan agar guru-guru yang tergabung dalam tim IT dan guru trainer tersebut mempunyai keterampilan yang memadai sehingga dapat memberikan pelatihan kepada guru-guru yang lain. Selain itu, monitoring terhadap pembelajaran daring di sekolah juga dilakukan untuk merumuskan hal-hal yang perlu dilakukan untuk perbaikan implementasi “Mupat Belajar” kedepannya.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis preliminary study explores external motivation in L2 extensive reading regarding word-target and pleasure reading. In contrast to the extensive reading principle which discourages the use of assessment to promote pleasure in reading, this study aims to explore how reading targets as one form of assessment is potential to maintain pleasure in reading. This qualitative study was conducted in the Department of Arabic Education at an Islamic private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two reading classes for first-year students were observed. The data were collected from observation, interviews, and students’ reading profiles as recorded in XReading, a learning management system supporting students’ reading practice. The results show that the students use the reading target as an external drive to read and XReading allows students to choose the texts according to their preference and within their linguistic capacity, which instills pleasure in reading. The findings also suggest that a periodical goal and regular teacher monitoring will motivate students to sustain their reading progress. ABSTRAKStudi pendahuluan ini mengeksplorasi motivasi eksternal dalam membaca ekstensif dalam bahasa asing, terutama terkait dengan target kata dan kesenangan membaca. Berbeda dengan prinsip membaca ekstensif yang secara umum tidak menyarankan adanya asesmen untuk mendorong kesenangan membaca, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana target membaca justru menjadi salah satu asesmen yang berpotensi untuk menjaga kesenangan membaca. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang dilaksanakan di Prodi Pendidikan Bahasa Arab di salah satu universitas swasta di Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Observasi dilakukan di dua kelas mahasiswa tahun pertama. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data observasi, interview, profil membaca mahasiswa yang terekam dalam XReading, sebuah learning management system yang digunakan mahasiswa untuk mendukung praktek membaca ekstensif mereka. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa menggunakan target membaca sebagai dorongan eksternal untuk membaca dan XReading memberikan ruang pada mahasiswa untuk memilih bacaan sesuai dengan pilihan dan kemampuan linguistik mereka, yang menguatkan kesenangan mereka dalam membaca. Temuan dalam penelitian ini juga menyarankan adanya gol bacaan dan monitoring dosen secara berkala untuk memotivasi mahasiswa dalam mempertahankan progres membacanya.How to Cite:  Paradita, L.I, Surwanti, D., Hunafa, N..
