The Coronavirus pandemic gives an effect on training field. The up close and
personal learning design in schools has moved to distance realizing which is completed
on the web. The execution of internet getting the hang of during the pandemic powers a
computerized change in schooling, causing a few issues, two of which are innovation
and human asset. UNESCO confirmed that more than 850 million students in the world
are encouraged to study from home to avoid spreading the disease. This has also
happened in Indonesia where a number of regions have closed schools and
implemented online learning (Fithra, 2020.).
The Philippines education system has faced an unprecedented health crisis
(COVID-19 pandemic) that has shaken up its foundation. Thus, various governments
across the globe have launched a crisis response to mitigate the adverse impact of the
pandemic on education. This response includes, but is not limited to, curriculum
revisions, provision for technological resources and infrastructure, shifts in the academic
calendar, and policies on instructional delivery and assessment. Inevitably, these
developments compelled educational institutions to migrate to full online learning until
face-to-face instruction is allowed. The current circumstance is unique as it could
aggravate the challenges experienced during online learning due to restrictions in
movement and health protocols (Gonzales, 2020 Kapasia, 2020).
Online learning is carried out by using several media whose content is filled in by
the teacher through Schoology, Google Classroom, Zoom, Google Meeting, and social
media such as WhatsApp and online learning media where the content have been
provided by service providers (Adit, 2020). Online learning is considered not to be as
effective as face-to-face learning, especially for senior high school levels. Various
obstacles have emerged, starting from the technical and infrastructure side to the
human resources of organizers and participants (Rika, 2020).
The impact of online learning activities on learning outcomes of students who
participated in the blended learning course, focusing specifically on skill-based courses.
The learning outcomes or results of a learner are usually measured by scores,
knowledge or skills gained in the course. In blended learning courses, the learning
outcomes can be assessed according to many criteria. In this study, interactive activities
such as teacher–student interaction, student–student interaction, student–content
interaction and student–technology interaction are considered. Undergraduate students
participated in the blended learning course in which formative assessment was used to
evaluate student learning outcomes by the combination of different learning activities
through a learning management system.
This study indicates the appropriate online learning strategies and approaches to
use during pandemic in Notre Dame of the Dadiangas University to acknowledge the
strategies that students use to overcome their challenges would provide relevant
information to school administrators and teachers to better support the online learning
needs of students.
skills, but this can be overcome by,
for instance, doing a short presentation
in an online class session.
Short presentations can be applied
to almost all share screen features
of video conferencing
applications, such as Google Meet,
Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco
Webex, and others (Shaw, 2020).
Conclusion
Active learning can be chosen as a
synchronous online learning strategy
in elementary schools. In its
implementation, active learning can
be used as an instructional activity
that involves students in doing
something and thinking about what
they are doing in participating in class,
thereby that the implementation
of learning can be carried out
optimally to manage students'
abilities in order to obtain optimal
learning
outcomes. The active learning
component in online classes can
technically be described through
five
strategies. First, the use of Student
Response Systems as a tool to receive
direct feedback about teaching
and learning activity. Second, Think
Pair Share as a method to encourage
students to get into the flow of
interaction and communication. Third,
One Minute Paper as a means to ask
students in the form of simple
questions about the material that has
been taught. Fourth, Small Group
Discussion as a method in the form
of interaction to allow students to
deeply learn about a problem raised by
the teacher on a topic or material.
Fifth, Short Students Presentations
as a tool that provides opportunities
for students to interact and
exchange ideas with peers.
