Abstract This article describes the understanding of motion by active students taking Newtonian physics for engineering, supported by active learning, during the pandemic due to COVID-19; in addition, an unsupervised predictive model of learning achievement was constructed from variables identified using the principal component analysis technique on the responses. the instrument used is the modified test of understanding graphs-kinematics comprehension. students from two universities in Bogotá, Colombia participated. The results show a lower level of accuracy in students in remote face-to-face mode, compared to the reference group of physical presence; by way of reflection, the forced educational experiment implies resizing the teaching activity in the teaching and learning of movement.

The Covid-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on the educational system in all its teaching and learning activities, and in the specific case of the practical training of teachers. This study seeks to investigate through qualitative research with a comprehensive interpretive approach, the training of the practicum of Physical Education teachers in Chile, considering the knowledge and experiences, in the context of virtual classrooms during the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were used to collect the data; and were analyzed with the content analysis technique. As result, it can be observed that the students manifest diverse experiences in their practicum process, with difficulties inherent to the remote work condition, such as difficulty in communication with students and school teachers, problems in didactic and evaluation processes, and adaptation to context. It is necessary to discuss the access of students and teachers to technologies, as well as the training of physical education teachers in areas of didactic and assessment in contexts where face-to-face is difficult.

This study aims to describe the perceptions of second semester Islamic banking students regarding the use of the Google Classroom application during online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online lectures are one of the terms used during the COVID-19 pandemic which means lectures that are carried out on a network and connected via the internet. The perceptions of students studied were limited to aspects of teaching and learning, lecturers' capabilities or abilities, and facilities and infrastructure during the implementation of online lectures through the Google Classroom application. This research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were all second semester Islamic banking students who had attended online lectures in the economic mathematics course at the Jam'iyah Mahmudiyah Islamic High School Tanjung Pura, Langkat Regency, for the 2019/2020 academic year. Data were collected using a questionnaire filled out online by students. The data analysis technique used in this research is qualitative analysis which consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the second semester Islamic banking students' perceptions of using the Google Classroom application during online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic were in the good category. However, students still prefer lectures to be held face-to-face.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational practices worldwide, including English language teaching and learning practices like teaching speaking courses. It has also shifted face-to-face learning into distance learning modes. Implementing e-portfolios in assessing students' speaking performance seems to be an alternative as this technique could be implemented fully online. However, how well e-portfolios facilitate students' learning engagement in speaking courses, especially during online learning, has been little documented. Thus, this study aims to explore the students' learning engagement and the challenges of implementing e-portfolios in an online speaking course. Using a single case study in an English Language Department at a public education university in Indonesia, the study involved ten participants selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from various resources, such as phone interviews, videos, and reflection journals, as data/source triangulation. The data were then analyzed using a theoretical thematic analysis technique. The findings revealed that the participants had active participation and showed almost similar engagements in cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains during the online speaking course. However, the students also faced several challenges that inevitably affected their feelings. Few implications are also discussed pertaining to conduct English language teaching practices during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study is an attempt to enquire into the preference of undergraduate students, after a considerable and over a year-long experience with Online Teaching and Learning (OTL), under the emergency preventive measure of switching from the traditional face-to-face classes to online. The study followed an exploratory approach, with a quantitative survey followed by a qualitative one, and a convenient sampling method to collect responses from a substantial sample size. The study is positioned after more than a year of remote classes by the undergraduate student, and hence represents highly experienced reflections and preferences from these students, as compared to other studies conducted last year. The study has profound implications in considering, and questioning, the importance of on-campus classes, and significance of the physical presence of a tutor in the class, and its effect on the learning experience of undergraduate students.

This policy means that all activities must change their orientation, that is, they may not go through face-to-face, including teaching and learning activities at various levels of education, both formal and informal. Teaching and learning activities continue, but must take advantage of-based media online or whatever form it takes as long as it is not face-to-face with the intention of avoiding the transmission of Covid-19 in Indonesia.  This research is a type of qualitative research. The data analysis technique used in this study is a qualitative descriptive technique with critical theory studies supported by the stages of child development in the rationalization of technology as a scalpel. This research was conducted at SMAS Nusantara Bungah, which has implemented-based learning methods  online during the pandemic.  Therefore, macro and micro solutions are absolutely necessary to avoid the possibility of something worse happening. At the macro level, the government must immediately issue a new policy regarding a more humane learning model by providing supporting facilities and infrastructure. Then at the micro level, an intense dialogical relationship is needed to make the best use of technology between teacher-parents and teacher-students to solve grassroots problems.

The Covid-19 pandemic has replaced face-to-face learning with online learning. Universities take advantage of the Siakadcloud application which has various challenges. The readiness of lecturers, students, and most importantly the internet network must be in harmony without any obstacles. Siakadcloud is an application that has just been socialized, of course it has the potential to cause stuttering, plus the distribution of internet networks is still questionable. This can trigger incoherence and cohesiveness in participating in teaching and learning activities. Whereas the urgency of Pancasila education is to teach about awareness of living together in the nation and state. This study aims to identify the challenges of online learning in strengthening students' Pancasila values ??as an effort to support the 4th goal of sustainable development (SDGs), namely quality education in the field of Civics Education. Using qualitative-descriptive research methods with analysis technique Creswell (2004), then combined with the concept of social solidarity (Emil Durkheim). The object of research is Pancasila Education class students in the odd semester of 2021 at Bangka Belitung University. The results showed that Pancasila education for students taught the values ??of unity, love for the homeland, and pluralism. So the strengthening of Pancasila values ??focuses on these three topics. The interesting thing is, students at Bangka Belitung University have a social environment that practices a good religious life. So that it becomes the basis for new students to strengthen the values ??of Pancasila through the value of God Almighty. On the other hand, the social solidarity that is formed in student online learning is organic solidarity which is a division of tasks based on the specifications of each new student's expertise.

This present describes the results of the evaluation regarding the self-perception of personal and social attitudes acquired by university students from an engineer-ing faculty at a state university in Peru, in the context of virtual teaching and learning, declared by the health emergency by COVID-19; For which the follow-ing objectives were proposed, to determine the variation or impact that the self-perception of personal and social attitudes experienced, having as reference sce-narios, the academic semester with face-to-face teaching (academic semester 2019B) and then the academic semester developed totally virtual (2020A). An exploratory-descriptive research level was used, with a longitudinal non-experimental design, whose population and sample is made up of 674 and 761 students, in the 2019B and 2020A semesters respectively. The data collection in-struments were validated through Cronbach's Alpha, whose average results per academic semester were 0.960 and 0.958. After the investigation, it was found that there is no negative impact, due to virtual teaching; On the contrary, on aver-age, there was an increase in all levels of satisfaction, increasing the level very satisfied by 52.8% and the level satisfied by 3.25%.

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has forced educators individually, and educational institutions collectively, to rethink their teaching and assessment modes. Several universities have seen a sudden shift from traditional face to face teaching and learning to online approaches. The aim of this case study is to share the authors’ experience in the design, coordination, delivery and evaluation of a fully online post-registration programme. Now in its twelfth year, this is an interdisciplinary course and caters for qualified health professionals from various sectors and with various levels of experience seeking a baccalaureate qualification. The paper uses the SWOT analysis technique to highlight the programme’s strengths and weaknesses, and to reflect on its opportunities for, and threats to, further development. In so doing, it discusses some considerations underpinning the shift from a face to face to an online, mainly asynchronous, mode of delivery for this post-registration academic top-up programme. The paper explains the challenges encountered and the lessons learnt through feedback from the students, stakeholders, and external examiners. The good practices that were developed as a result, including strategies to foster a community of learners, may be of interest to, and applied by, educators in other settings.
