Abstract

This study aims to get an overview of the online learning process amid the Covid-19 Pademi and the learning loss that occurs. The population is all elementary school students in Indonesia. Probability sampling technique with the type of Simple Random Sampling is used in sampling in this study with a sample of 330 students in 33 regions throughout Indonesia. Student questionnaires were made with reference to the Circular Letter of the Minister of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia number 4 of 2020 concerning Implementation of Education Policies in the Emergency Period of the Spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) and refer to Cardinal regarding the factors that dominate learning loss. This study uses a survey method with data analysis using data analysis from Creswell. The results of the study show that during online learning during the pandemic there were indications of learning loss in terms of the aspect of attendance, the aspect of collecting assignments on time, the enthusiasm for learning aspect, the aspect of learning outcomes in the realm of thinking (cognitive) processes, the aspect of learning outcomes in the attitude domain, and the aspect of learning outcomes in the skills domain. Learning objectives do not experience loss because the implementation of learning is in accordance with the learning objectives contained in the Learning Implementation Plan (RPP). The occurrence of learning loss is due to limitations in accessing learning applications, minimal interaction between teachers and students can affect the process of transferring knowledge and enthusiasm for student learning. The teacher does not deliver direct material causing a lack of students’ understanding of the material being studied which has an impact on decreasing aspects of learning outcomes in the realm of thinking (cognitive) processes, aspects of learning outcomes in the realm of attitudes, and aspects of learning outcomes in the realm of skills.
