Abstract

Learning in the Covid-19 era requires lecturers and students not to study in the same place. This condition is a new challenge for lecturers and students to continue implementing effective learning using a suitable approach that is blended learning. This research is a preliminary study to determine the difficulties of lecturers in implementing blended learning at Department of Physics Education, FKIP Universitas Syiah Kuala. The method used in this research is a survey using a questionnaire containing 30 statements. The indicators measured in this study were 9 (nine) indicators from 2 aspects, namely the readiness and skills of lecturers in implementing blended learning in the Covid-19 era. The questionnaire was distributed to 15 lecturers in the Department of Physics Education, and the results of the responses obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the analysis show that 29.23% of lecturers are not ready to apply the blended learning approach because 53.85% of lecturers rarely access the internet and learning platforms to facilitate lecture activities, so they are not used to using it. 44% of lecturers are not yet skilled in using learning platforms which are shown by 46.16% of lecturers having difficulty changing the general appearance of the virtual class, and 46.15% of lecturers have difficulty interacting using the learning platform. These difficulties are the obstacles for lecturers to apply the blended learning approach in lecture activities, so it is necessary to immediately find solutions to help the lecturer difficulties so that lectures in the Covid-19 era continue to run effectively like previous lectures.Keywords: Blended Learning, Covid-19, Lecturer Difficulties, Obstacles

Abstract

While classical behavior theories assume that knowledge is linked to change in human behavior, there is a growing trend reporting the dissociation between these two constructs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge as measured by science literacy and behavior as represented by the disaster preparedness of the students. It mainly employed a correlation research design involving 280 Grade VIII students in a public high school in the Philippines during the school year 2018-2019. The psychometric properties of the instruments used were established. The descriptive and inferential statistics provided the mean, percentage, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient for the variables under this research. Results showed that the students have a moderate level of science literacy and a low level of disaster preparedness. The results further revealed that there is a negative and weak relationship between the science literacy and disaster preparedness of the students. A broader explanatory context of this result is further discussed with the possible role of the curriculum. The conclusions and recommendations are offered in the paper.
