Abstract

Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, Nadiem Anwar Makarim, menerbitkan Surat Edaran Nomor 3 Tahun 2020 tentang Penyelenggaraan Edukasi Darurat Virus Corona (Covid-19), salah satunya menekankan bahwa pembelajaran online (jarak jauh) dilakukan untuk memberikan pengalaman belajar yang bermakna kepada siswa. IAIN Palangka Raya merupakan salah satu kampus yang menerapkan pembelajaran online dalam situasi pandemi. Pada semester kedua, mata kuliah Public Speaking Survival English merupakan kelas berbicara pertama yang menggunakan pembelajaran online. Dengan demikian, pembelajaran online merupakan hal baru yang membutuhkan adaptasi bagi siswa di kelas berbicara. Sehingga, mata kuliah Public Speaking yang diadakan di masa pandemi Covid-19 ini memunculkan beberapa dilema pemahaman mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi siswa terhadap pembelajaran online di kelas Public Speaking selama masa pandemi Covid-19.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Tiga instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data, yaitu: observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Subyek penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa semester dua Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di IAIN Palangka Raya. Purposive sampling digunakan untuk menentukannya berdasarkan beberapa kriteria yang dibutuhkan.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa semester kedua di kelas Public Speaking di IAIN Palangka Raya angkatan 2020 memberikan persepsi positif terhadap pembelajaran online di kelas Public Speaking selama situasi pandemi. Mereka menganggap pembelajaran daring membantu kegiatan proses belajar mengajar mereka meski tidak sepenuhnya efektif. Temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa yang tinggal di wilayah pinggiran kota dan perbatasan di Kalimantan Tengah paling sering mengalami kendala saat pembelajaran online dikarenakan hujan/cuaca buruk dan juga pemadaman listrik yang mengakibatkan jaringan internet tidak stabil sehingga mengganggu aktivitas pembelajaran online. Selain itu, ada faktor internal dan eksternal yang dirasakan oleh mahasiswa selama pembelajaran daring di kelas Public Speaking yang menjadi kendala. Faktor internal itu antara lain adalah; kurang percaya diri saat menggunakan bahasa Inggris, gugup, malu, pengucapan, dan takut salah dalam menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Sedangkan faktor eksternal yang menjadi kendala bagi siswa adalah; kurangnya penguasaan kosakata, jaringan internet, kuota internet, waktu belajar, dan aktivitas rumah yang membuat bising.

ABSTRACT

The Minister of Education and Culture, Nadiem Anwar Makarim, issued Circular Number 3 of 2020 on the Implementation of Emergency Coronavirus Education (Covid-19), which stressed that online (distance) learning was carried out to provide students with meaningful learning experiences. IAIN Palangka Raya is one of the campuses that implement online learning in a pandemic situation. The Public Speaking Survival English course is the first speaking class that uses online learning in the second semester. Thus, online learning is a new thing that requires adaptation for students in speaking classes. So, the Public Speaking course, which was held during the Covid-19 pandemic, brought out some dilemmas on students’ comprehension. This study was aimed to know the students’ perception of online learning in Public Speaking class during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study was a qualitative descriptive approach. Three instruments were used to collect the data. Those are observations, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study were the second-semester students of the English Education Study Program in IAIN Palangka Raya. Purposive sampling was used to determine them based on some criteria needed.

The results showed that the second-semester students in the Public Speaking class at IAIN Palangka Raya academic year 2020 positively perceived online learning in the Public Speaking class during the pandemic situation. They consider online learning to help their teaching and learning activities even though it is not entirely practical. The findings also showed that students who live in suburbs and borderland in Central Kalimantan most often experienced problems when learning online due to rain/bad weather and power outages, resulting in unstable internet networks that interfere with online learning activities. In addition, there are internal and external factors that students feel during online learning in the Public Speaking class, which become obstacles. The internal factors include; Lack of confidence when using English, nervousness, feeling shy, pronouncing, and being afraid of making mistakes in using English. In contrast, the external factors that become obstacles for students are; Lack of vocabulary mastery, internet network, internet quota, study time, and noisy home activities.
