STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN ONLINE LEARNING DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC ERA: A CASE STUDY
The Covid-19 pandemic, or coronavirus pandemic
has been declared by World Health
Organization in March
2020. As the
data in the
world indicate the
increasement of coverage and
impacts of this contagious and lethal disease, many countries enact national
emergency state. Indonesia
as one of
countries with high
infected population has
also implemented some policy reforms in many sectors. In education
sector, a new policy has been regulated in teaching and learning system. The
Government of Indonesia Republic through
The Ministry of
Education and Culture
has stipulated online
teaching and learning processes
as one panacea with executing physical distancing program to depress the
pandemic outbreak. Teachers and students are regulated to conduct the teaching
and learning processes from face-to-face
mode into online one (Ministry of Education and Culture, 2020).
The online learning
regulation is in
force to all
education institutions. It is
undertaken the learning
from traditionally face-to-face
approaches to remotely
digital platforms. This sudden transformation has been debatable due to
the quality of education resulted. Some previous
studies revealed that
the online learning
during the Covid-19 pandemic era in Indonesia has caused
advantages while others has caused disadvantages. On one hand, online learning
was reported beneficial for students because they had high interaction to rich
learning materials regardless time and place as well as high opportunity to
experience digital learning programs (Firman & Rahayu, 2020; Hidayat &
Noeraida, 2020; Simamora, 2020).
Moreover, the high
interaction also occurred
in the forms
of virtual communication among teachers - students, and students -
students which resulted vast
capacity of sharing
information and experience
(Pakpahan & Fitriani,
2020; Rochman & Pertiwi, 2020). As the online teaching and learning
processes used computer technology, it increased enthusiasm of both teachers
and students to participate which, in turn,
increased their computer
skills too (Dasrun,
2020; Khasanah, Pramudibyanto, & Widuroyekti, 2020).
On the other
hand, online learning
was also described
bringing disadvantages. The students claimed that online learning has
caused them some health problems
like fatigue, headache, or fever because they had too many assignments to do in short time. Some also
declared that they had impairment eyesight due to long duration starring at
computers or phones
screens. Students also
faced hardship in
financial because they had to buy big credit for online quota (Simamora,
2020). However, these advantages and disadvantages which determined the students’ success in
learning were closely related to students’ motivation in online learning during
the pandemic.
Interestingly,
both advantages and
disadvantages were influenced
by students’ motivation. The
motivation regarding online
learning during the
coronavirus outbreak was reported
contributing inconsistent effects
in higher education,
especially in Indonesian
universities. The online learning has caused lack motivation for some students
to learn
whereas others were
highly motivated. Cahyani,
Listiana, & Larasati
(2020), Rachmat (2020) and
Simamora (2020) in
their study reported
that students with
lack motivation were greatly affected by external factors like learning
environment, learning time, and
instrumental supports which in
turn affected the
achievement. As the
online learning was conducted
from home, many parents
thought they still
could ask help
in doing households from
their children in
their online learning
time. Improper internet connection and gadgets to access the
distance learning were also caused frustration. On the contrary, Fitriyani,
Fauzi, & Sari (2020) and Simamora (2020) argued that intrinsic factors highly
motivated university students
in online learning.
The enthusiasm and ambition to understand and add new
knowledge have driven them to study hard even via online. In addition,
resilience and psychological condition also
favorably assisted them to have success online learning.
