Abstract

As an aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, university learning has been significantly impacted despite the need to adapt to technology to support online learning. Nonetheless, it is essential to recognize that online learning can pose various challenges, including learning loss, which can affect the decline of students' knowledge and skills. The present study was aimed at identifying (1) the types of platforms used in online learning and (2) the symptoms of learning loss experienced by students during online learning. The study was quantitative-qualitative research with a mix-method approach. Data collection was carried out using observations, online surveys (Google form), and interviews conducted in 2021. Data were collected from 70 students of Indonesian Language and Literature Education class of 2020 Yogyakarta State University. Data analysis used quantitative-qualitative analysis. The results showed that the types of platforms students use include WhatsApp, Zoom, UNY Be Smart, Google Meet, Google Classroom, Powtoon, Geneally, Padlet, Quiziz, and Jamboard. The Whatsapp was the most widely used platform. However, online learning that provides many benefits also caused symptoms of learning loss in online lectures. The symptoms of learning loss experienced by students were lecturing while doing other activities, no one responding to the lecturer's questions, turning off the camera during lectures, and passive discussion presentations. The findings suggest that lecturers should increase their supervision and engagement, create a more engaging learning environment, and encourage active participation from students.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy at the Faculty of Languages, Arts, and Culture, Yogyakarta State University, from the perspective of students. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative data collected from questionnaires filled out by 63 participants with qualitative insights obtained from interviews with 2 MBKM lecturers and 2 students who have taken part in the MBKM program. The study investigates students’ understanding, satisfaction, perceived effectiveness, and relevance of the MBKM program, as well as challenges faced during its implementation. Results indicate that students generally understand the MBKM objectives and benefit from enhanced skills, practical experiences, and preparation for the workforce. However, issues such as administrative complexity, limited guidance, and insufficient socialization were identified as significant barriers. The study highlights the need for improved information dissemination, streamlined administrative processes, and stronger institutional support to enhance program effectiveness. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on student perspectives, offering valuable insights into how the MBKM policy impacts educational experiences and identifying actionable recommendations for program improvement. This study contributes to the ongoing evaluation of MBKM, ensuring it aligns with students' needs and institutional objectives in preparing graduates for the 21st-century workforce.
