Abstract

The Education Emergency during the COVID-19 period has had a major impact on the decline in the quality of education in Indonesia. This study aims to uncover: 1) how is learning during Covid-19? 2) What are the aspects of learning loss? and 3) how is learning loss recovery in post-COVID-19 learning? This research data was obtained from teachers and students in six Central Java, East Java, and Lampung schools. The data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation techniques. The data analysis of this study includes three stages. Namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions, as formulated by Miles and Huberman. Based on the data analysis that has been carried out, it shows that there has been a learning loss in learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is characterized by a decrease in student motivation, participation, and learning outcomes. There are several strategies that teachers can do to recover from pandemic learning loss in the new normal era, including 1) using various strategies, media, and learning resources, 2) doing remedial/enrichment, 3) requiring students to actively ask questions, 4) involving the role of parents.
