We all know how enormous the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are, which still haunts us all. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread since the end of 2019 until now, as 193 countries have struggled to fight the indiscriminate attack of Covid. Corona virus disease (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered type of coronavirus. Although it mostly attacks the elderly, this virus can actually attack anyone, from infants, children, to adults. This corona virus can cause mild disorders of the respiratory system, severe lung infections, and even death.
In an effort to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic, the government issued a policy that schools ask their students to study at home.
"Online" learning as the sole option in the context of preventing the spread of covid 19 gives a special color during the struggle against this virus. Even this form of learning can also be interpreted as limiting access to education. Education that normally takes place with direct interaction between elements (educators and education staff and students) turns into indirect interaction learning. Restrictions on direct interaction in education sometimes occur in certain situations but not in the context of social restrictions such as what people live in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. The online learning system (in the network) is a learning system without face to face directly between teachers and students but is carried out online using the internet network. Teachers must ensure that teaching and learning activities continue, even though students are at home. The solution is that teachers are required to be able to design learning media as innovations by utilizing online media (online).
For more than sixteen months, students have been forced to carry out online learning due to the corona pandemic. With this pandemic, some students complain because they feel online learning is less effective. Many distractions that make their learning process is not optimal. Then how to learn to be more effective that can be applied during this pandemic? The following are effective and not boring ways to study at home:
1. Time management
We must be good at managing time well: make a schedule by writing down what must be done in one day. Have a target to achieve.
2. Study room atmosphere
The second thing we need to pay attention to when studying during a pandemic is the study room, choose a comfortable study room, don't choose a study room that doesn't exist together with the bedroom. Why is that ? This is to reduce the feeling of laziness because of the desire to lie in bed. Prepare a comfortable and quiet place so that learning can be more effective because there are minimal distractions
3. don't procrastinate
we must have a consistent schedule, the schedule and targets that we have set are useful so that we don't procrastinate doing something. So, it's important that we stay and continue to do what needs to be done.
4. Maintain health
The most important thing is to maintain health during this pandemic. Maintaining good sleep quality, and living a healthy and rewarding life really helps us in optimizing our independent study schedule during a pandemic and eating nutritious food.
