Implementation of Practice Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This research was done because of the covid-19 pandemic. One regulation impact of this pandemic is social distance, so it disturbed the implementation of learning because students did not allowed to learn face to face in a room or at campus. They must learn from home by online learning. This regulation was not a problem for some courses, but it was not easy for practice course because students need tools and do demonstration in laboratory or workshop. This descriptive qualitative reseach was done to observed people who involved in specific teaching method course in the mechanical engineering department of Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP). The key of this research are about data observation, triangulation, careful examination, then data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The research result stated that; 1) there was no changes in the substance of the learning planning during covid-19, 2) the implementation of practice learning was done by fully learning during covid-19, student and lecture did communication by using whatsapp, e-mail, zoom cloud meeting, UNP’s e-learning, and others tools such as youtube, 3) the assessment of learning was done by testing and observation.
