Video-based learning for "learning from home" solution in pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forces the government, especially the Ministry of Education and Culture to implement the learning from the Home policy as an effort to implement social distancing as one of the health protocols to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. This policy directs teachers to be able to carry out online learning, one of which is by using instructional video media. With qualitative methods, this study examines relevant studies in order to determine the effectiveness level of using video as an online learning medium. Based on the results of the study conducted, it was found that video was a learning medium that was widely used by teachers. Learning videos make it easy for teachers to deliver the material. Furthermore, the teacher provides a formative test as a form of confirmation to students in understanding the material presented. It should be noted that the use of instructional videos that are used must be adjusted to the character of the learning material provided to students. Due to relatively difficult learning materials, instructional videos with the instructor's views in the video can be a factor of misconceptions among students. Therefore it needs to be understood that the use of instructional videos on relatively difficult material should be applied with direct instruction by educators when watching the learning videos together. It is done as an effort to create an atmosphere of learning from home to be similar to learning at school as the teacher directs students from each material being conveyed.
