A E-LEARNING MADRASAH AND WA GROUP IN REALIZING STUDENTS PARTICIPATION IN DISTANCE LEARNING DURING THE PANDEMIC E-LEARNING MADRASAH AND WA GROUP IN REALIZING STUDENTS PARTICIPATION IN DISTANCE LEARNING DURING THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

There are 2 (two) patterns that can be done in Distance Learning, namely In-Network (Online) and Outside-Network (Offline). To support the implementation of online learning, the Government through the Minister of Education and Culture recommends about 23 aplications as learning resources. For Madrasahs, the Ministry of Religion has provided and encouraged teachers to use Madrasah E-learning. Online learning carried out by madrasah experienced various obstacles, including the low of students participation in collecting assignments. There is an online teaching experience that can be used as a reference to overcome these problems, namely, maximizing the function of Madrasah E-Learning with its various features because these features have been designed to help teachers carry out online learning. If there are obstacles in the learning process at Madrasah E-Learning, especially student participation in collecting assignments, the teacher overcomes them with the WA Group media as a supporting media because the WA Group is not only cheap and easy, it is also effective and familiar to students. The results of the collaboration between Madrasah E-Learning with WA Group are very encouraging. The level of student participation from time to time is getting better and even reaches one hundred percent. In addition to maximizing Madrasah and WA Group E-Learning media, of course the most important thing is maximizing the role of teachers through increasing various pedagogic, professional, social, personal and digital competencies.
