Starting a new school year in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, certainly shouldn't dampen the enthusiasm for learning. Even though school or teaching and learning activities are still limited online, preparations on the first day of school must still be done. Some local governments have decided to implement a policy of dismissing students and have started to apply learning methods with a bold system (online) or online.
All sectors are feeling the impact of the corona. One of them is the world of education. Judging from the events that are happening, both students and parents who do not have cellphones to support learning activities are brave enough to be confused, so that the school is also looking for solutions to anticipate this. Some students who do not have cell phones do group learning, so they do learning activities together. The problem that occurs is not only in the instructional media system but the fact that quotas require a fairly high cost for students and teachers to facilitate learning needs. The quota purchased for internet needs has increased and many parents are not ready to increase their budget on the internet network. Brave learning cannot be separated from the internet network. The internet network connection is one of the disturbances that are part of the school for students whose homes are difficult to access the internet, especially students who live in rural, remote and disadvantaged areas. Even though there are those who use cellular networks, sometimes the network is unstable, because of the geographical location that is still far from the range of cellular signals.
Preparations that can be done to start learning online:
1. Adequate lighting
2. Away from noisy places
3. A comfortable place
4. Stationery
As for the very important components of a bold (online) learning process, it needs to be improved and improved, namely:
1. A stable internet network
2. Then a capable gadget or computer
3. Application with a user friendly platform
4. Bold outreach that is efficient, effective, continuous, and integrative to all education stakeholders.
Therefore, bold learning as an effective solution in learning at home to break the chain of Covid-19, physical distance is also a consideration for choosing this learning. Good cooperation between teachers, students, parents of students and the school / madrasah is a determining factor for more effective learning.
Hopefully this Covid-19 pandemic will pass quickly along with the new normal that has been imposed by the government. So that the learning process can be carried out as before with experienced teachers and students who are directly linked.
