Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on education system across the world including in Indonesia. Indonesian Ministry of Education on March instructed educational institutional to start teaching online by learning from home, through online learning and assessment methods. This situation brings positive and negative impacts as well as challenges and opportunities for teachers in Indonesia. This study maps the constraints and benefits experienced by teachers in Indonesia during the learning process from home. The research was conducted in a survey by distributing questionnaires online to teachers throughout Indonesia. As many as 6632 teachers became respondents, who come from almost all provinces in Indonesia. Descriptive analysis was conducted to determine the characteristic respondent. The survey results show that 62% of schools carry out online learning and assessment activities. The most widely used online media are WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Google Forms. About 58.1% of the teachers had difficulty conducting online teaching and 64.2% had difficulty on online assessments. The challenges came from an unstable internet network (64.2%), lack of funds for internet quota needs (50.6%), and limited suitable electronic devices (47%). The opportunities during online learning were increased teacher commitment, empathy for students, increased new experiences with online media, and increased time management skills.
