The Effectiveness of Social Media as an Online Learning Pattern in Improving the 3 Domains of Student Intellectual Ability During the Pandemic (Covid-19)

Abstract

Covid-19 has become an important note for the revolution of human civilization, various speculations that discuss the negative impact more intensively than the positive impact of this problem (a case study of a private university in West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara). The use and utilization of technology is an alternative way for a private higher education institution to respond to the government's prohibition of conducting face-to-face lectures with online learning. After this rule was implemented, problems began to arrive on the part of students regarding the effectiveness of online learning with the constraints of inadequate network technology in their area. Using social media as an effective learning tool during a pandemic is an easy alternative to implement. Research on students and teaching staff can affect the effectiveness of online learning. Bloom's Taxonomy Learning Theory is used to identify the skills of students starting from a low level with three domains of intellectual ability, namely. Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor. Social media is a means of proving the effectiveness of online learning applied to students, by conducting research and development on thinking skills in the teaching and learning process to produce students who are competent in their fields.
