Abstract

The current pandemic has changed the learning process from face-to-face to online learning (distance learning). So that all universities are encouraged to prepare distance learning infrastructure in the form of digital platforms. Although the PJJ is widely assessed by several different parties, one of them is the perception of students. Students' perceptions of distance learning are viewed from the opinions of what they experience and students who feel learning during distance learning. Students must also be prepared to face this distance learning process. This study aims to explore the readiness of students to undergo distance learning online by lecturers. The sample selection technique was simple random sampling consisting of 20 students drawn from various majors at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Musamus University. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires were distributed online using a google form and interviews were conducted with zoom from student representatives. The data analysis technique uses the Analysis Interactive Model, which consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and make conclusions. Based on the results of research, student readiness is caused by the unavailability of facilities and infrastructure, such as not having a laptop and smartphone, then the unpreparedness of students during the lecture process including an internet network that is less stable and data packages that are not sufficient to complete lectures to completion. So in this case, all university stakeholders and the government must work together to overcome this problem so that education in eastern Indonesia continues to develop.
