Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced stakeholders to find the best way to carry out student learning activities through online learning as the best solution during the pandemic. However, the onsite learning system has been switching slowly in the last few months. The current study summarizes the narratives of the challenges and benefits of four undergraduates from the same major who joined online learning and onsite learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through a narrative qualitative, the lens examines the students’ experiences. The instruments are interviews and diary notes of participants during conducting online and onsite learning amidst the pandemic and analyzed qualitatively. The findings showed that the students deal with four challenges: limited devices, lack of enthusiasm, anxiety, and unexpected disturbance during online learning. Meanwhile, the benefits save time, and cost, are easy to access, and students can learn independently. Moreover, this learning might help the student to become problem solvers and critical thinkers through task-solving activities and learning responsibilities. It also opens opportunities for students to better understand their own abilities in learning. Pengalaman, tantangan, dan keterlibatan di tengah pandemic: Pembelajaran online hingga pembelajaran luringPandemi Covid-19 memaksa para pemangku kepentingan untuk mencari cara terbaik dalam melaksanakan kegiatan belajar siswa melalui pembelajaran online sebagai solusi terbaik di masa pandemi.

Abstract

This study aims to determine teachers' pedagogical competence in increasing students' motivation to learn Bahasa Indonesia. To find this out, the approach used in this research is qualitative, a description method with observational research instruments or observations and interviews with students and teachers. The research participants were Bahasa Indonesia teachers and several SMA Negeri 3 Medan students. The study found that some teachers understand the characteristics of students because there are still teachers who generalize learning and need to understand student learning styles. The teachers in SMA Negeri 3 Medan have been able to design lesson plans (RPP) with innovative learning models. Not all teachers carry out learning according to the lesson plan (RPP) previously designed. In addition, some educators have yet to be able to assess or evaluate learning authentically. All teachers play a role in developing students so that they can actualize the potential of students.

Abstract

Pelita Harapan Orphanage has endeavored to nurture and care for the children in various aspects, including education, physical health, and spiritual development. However, the educational services in the orphanage face a major problem related to the limited number and educational backgrounds of the caregivers, which hinder the nurturing process in the orphanage. The formal education received by the foster children is still considered insufficient in enhancing their character and skills to meet future demands. The informal learning in the orphanage has not undergone updates like those implemented in modern schools today, thus not providing optimal improvement in the learning abilities and character of the children in the orphanage. To address this issue, a soft skills approach is implemented to shape the character and develop the skills of the orphanage children. This approach involves a learning and character-building process through engaging and motivating activities that encourage critical thinking and exploration of new things. This process also adheres to ethical values, local wisdom, understanding of national diversity, and care for the environment. This research aims to enhance the soft skills of the children in Pelita Harapan Orphanage, with a focus on building a strong character, developing social and intellectual skills, and preparing them to face a complex future. The research methodology involves preparation, problem identification, observation in the orphanage, and interviews with relevant parties. With the soft skills approach, it is expected that the children in Pelita Harapan Orphanage can become resilient individuals capable of critical thinking, creativity, and innovation in facing various unpredictable situations and conditions. Through a combination of attitude, knowledge, and skills competencies, the foster children have the potential to maximize their self-development and make positive contributions to society.
