TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION PARADIGM IN INDONESIAN RURAL AREA'S: STUDY OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT PERCEPTION

Abstract

The change in the order of life as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the face of education. Technological acceleration causes learning patterns to change. However, the change in learning patterns has not been accompanied by the right transformation of the educational paradigm. This research, which was carried out using a critical ethnographic approach, attempted to review the inequality that occurs in education in Indonesia, especially in rural areas as a result of the error in the learning paradigm used. This study aims to advocate for students in rural areas to get learning with the right paradigm so that there is no decline in the field of education. From this study, it was found that the appropriate paradigm used for online-based learning is learning that emphasizes independent learning and accommodates various student learning styles. The post-pandemic learning requires a systematic strategy that considers various aspects. Based on this research, it is hoped that there will be reflection to create better education for everyone.
