Identification of the Application of Civics Learning in Online Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the learning planning, application of PKn (Civics) instruction, and teacher barriers in online learning for fourth-grade students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research subjects include teachers, principals, and students from SDN Panggreh II. Data collection techniques comprise interviews, observations, and documentation, while data analysis employs the Miles and Huberman model. Findings reveal that teachers at SDN Panggreh II implemented online learning plans, encompassing syllabi, lesson plans, and learning media. However, they encountered challenges due to limited experience in online teaching and difficulties in selecting appropriate learning materials and activities. The study underscores the need for effective strategies to enhance online Civics instruction and overcome these obstacles, thereby ensuring quality education during times of crisis.
