THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN BIOLOGY TEACHING DURING AND POST PANDEMIC ERA: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic forces teachers and students to adapt rapidly to the online learning situation. Teachers have to adjust the traditional face-to-face instruction to online learning. This change affects science learning, especially in teaching biology. This study aims to explore the roles of technology in teaching during and post Covid-19 pandemic in biology courses. We conducted qualitative study by interviewing six senior high school biology teachers from public and private school in order to collect the information. We also analysed Learning Management Systems (LMS) and videos to gather the information about teaching strategies implemented during online leaning. The result explains that teachers have been implementing synchronous learning by using various video conference platforms and asynchronous learning using various types of LMS. Teachers also use various learning media, especially to help them conducting laboratory work. During online learning, teachers also experience many obstacles in technical issues and reduced interaction during learning process. However, this online learning will be continued in the future with various forms, which combine online learning and face-to-face learning- such as blended learning or flipped learning.
