Effectiveness of Online Learning Models for Student Understanding of Subjects in the Civil Engineering Department

Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has hit Indonesia since February 2020 until now and there is no sign of abating. All activities are carried out at home and are generally carried out through an online system. There is no exception for the teaching and learning process that involves teaching staff and students must implement the learning from home method or study from home. Understanding the principles and factors that affect the effectiveness of applying digital technology in learning is very important. Therefore, the research was carried out with the aim of being able to determine the level of student understanding of the face-to-face learning model in the S1 Building Engineering Education Study Program before the Covid-19 pandemic and students' understanding of the online lecture model during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the effectiveness model of online lectures in courses during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is a descriptive research study. The object of research is student understanding (academic years 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2018/2019, 2019/20200), which includes understanding before the Covid-19 pandemic and understanding during the Covid-19 pandemic. The subject of the research is the S1 Building Engineering Education Study Program, Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Unesa. The results of this study are expected to reveal the level of understanding of students with the face-to-face learning model and the level of understanding of students with the online lecture model as well as the effectiveness of the online lecture model in courses during the Covid-19 pandemic.
