Analisis Penggunaan Gadget pada Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh Siswa Kelas IV SD Negeri 09 Pagi Semanan

Abstract

Covid-19 in Indonesia was officially announced by President Joko Widodo at the State Palace on March 2, 2020. Learning activities at schools were closed from 16-30 March 2020. Holidays were apparently extended indefinitely. However, teaching and learning activities must still run as usual, the responsibility as an educator does not stop because of this pandemic. So that all educators do Distance Learning (PJJ) with various limitations and facilities. This pandemic has stopped all activities, including schools that used to be directly face to face, now they can only stare through the screen. In the past, children were limited to gadgets, now if they don't have gadgets, they can't learn. Educators are required to think and take advantage of all online media so that students can easily understand the learning given. Maybe middle and high school students have no effect on the condition of their parents, because they can already use gadgets. But this doesn’t apply to children who are still in elementary school who tend to get bored easily. The most important thing in Distance Learning is to build cooperation and communication with parents at home who replace teachers during this pandemic so that students can still understand learning even if they only use gadgets.
