for humanity to all return to care about God's creation, Indonesia is one of the countries
affected by the Covid-19 pandemic (Rudi Natamiharja, 2020). Corona virus disease 2019
(COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-Cov-2) (Supriatna, 2020).
The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of
China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019-21
coronavirus pandemic (Amalia Putri, 2020). Common symptoms include fever, cough,
and shortness of breath (Ririn Noviyanti Putri, 2020). Other possible symptoms include
muscle pain, diarrhea, sore throat, loss of smell, and abdominal pain (Alfitri & Kartika,
2018).
Humans are social creatures that allow each other to interact directly so that the
spread of the Covid-19 pandemic is accelerating (Fahrudin, 2020). Until the government
prepares regional rules or lockdowns to break the chain of spread of the Covid-19 (Yunus

Most people infected with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate
respiratory diseases, even causing breathing difficulties to death (Zendrato, 2020). This
virus can heal by itself because of immunity. However, older people are more susceptible
to this virus citation), especially those who have diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and
cancer.
As a result of this virus, community activities in various countries are disrupted
so that people in the world must stay at home to cut their eyes so that the corona virus
does not spread (Ramadhan, 2020). Then,the economy All around the world is also
getting better because of this virus. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) predicts
national economic growth of only 2.5% in 2020 or cut by half after 2019 growth of 5.0%
(Irsyadiah & Rifa’i, 2021). This is due to the pandemic of various regions of the
archipelago.

The pandemic has had an impact on various sectors in the country. The economic
seector is one sector that has experienced a significant impact. As a result, many people
lost their jobs and income.

family economy due to the economic crisis that occurred. In addition, many parents
cannot see the role of schools in the teaching and learning process if the learning process

When children no longer attend school, there is an increased risk for early marriage,
exploitation of children, especially girls, and teenage pregnancies.

As is well known, in recent times all hands-on learning has been
eliminated. This is the impact of Corona on education that is most clearly visible and can
be felt by everyone. This is done to prepare for the big social event (PSBB) made by the
government in order to suppress the spread of the Corona virus.
Even so, learning continues to run online. Both students or students as well as
reachers or lecturers have to adapt to this situation.
5. Resource gap
When all types of learning from home are done online, it is likely that there are
advantages in terms of facilities. Many students have survived so far in the educational
facilities provided by schools and campuses.

internet connection, or even electricity. Moreover, students and students who live in 3T
areas (Front, Remote, Outermost) find it difficult go get online learning supports
facilities.

increase the risk of harm.

a program of the Indonesian ministry of education and culture ) and SPADA ( a program
for research and technology of higher education.

The Covid-19 pandemic has closed schools as an effort to spread it to the
Indonesian people. In short, the government has implemented a distance learning (PJJ)
system or what is knows as online learning. A Technology-based system that definitely
requires educational institutions, teacher, students and even parents ro be technology
literate. This gteatly encourages the transformation of educational technology in this
country. This certainly has a positive impact because of the use of technology in the
world of education such as the era of the industrial Revolution 4.0 which continues to
grow.

COVID-19 pandemic has spawned various online learning program platforms to support

developed by providing features that facilitate online learning. Such as zoom meeting,

Guru, Study Room, Quipper, our Class Application and so on.

lecturers and even students conduct experiments to find new creativity and present an
effective and efficient learning process so that they can carry out a fun and not boring
learning process.

Where this requires innovative collaboration between parents and teachers so that student

overcome various complaints during online learning. This will have a positive impact on
the world of education both now and in the future.

knowledge in the midst of their families. Whether is’s just opening a small discussion or
by teaching the knowledge gained to the family. This plays an important role in
increasing student’s understanding of a science through direct application. Knowlwdge
that is applied directly will not affect only those who apply it but also those who receive
it.
8. Teachers Become More Familiar and Technology Literate
There is no denying that the learning process in the midst of a pandemic must be
done through online methods. Therefore the use of technologicial devices is needed.
During this pandemic, a lot of training was carried out for teacher with the aim of
providing guidance to determine learning methods that can be applied during the
pandemic, which of course are technology-based.
9. Internet as a Positive Source of Information
If the learning process generally uses printed books as the main learning resource,
then in the online learning process the internet is a course of information that can be used.
The internet is no longer only used by students as a means of entertainment or playing
social media, but is also used to get information about the lessons being tought. Such as
accessing digital books, learning videos and so on. Even so, of course, this must still
receive assistance from both teachers and parents, so that students do not get the wrong
information and avoid hoaxes.
10. Students Can be Supported by Parents Directly
Besically every child has unlimited potential. Howefer there are several factors
that can influence whether they can ultimately overcome that potencial. Experts believe
that the role of parents in a child’s life has far-reaching implications and with parental
supervision it is easy to integrate their development directly. Parental involvement is very
important for children to excel in school.

Although many educataors, students and the community are not ready yet facing
the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, courageous learning in the midst of this Covid-19
pandemic as if forcing all humans to be ready for today’s technological developments.
From a sociological perspective, this policy is the right step to take under these
conditions. Like there is an acceleration so that society can progress faster with the
internet now, for example by shopping with an online system, is preferred by the
community and can reduce transportation time and sosts, especially during the Covid-19
