CONTINUITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING DURING THE COVID-19 MOVEMENT CONTROL ORDER THROUGH ONLINE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
The Covid-19 pandemic is an unexpected pandemic. It is not only faced by the Malaysian community, but also the presence of the world. The spread of this epidemic is very fast and difficult to block. Almost most of all countries in the world are affected by its presence so that various sectors experience its fuel including in the field of education. To curb the spread of Covid-19, the Malaysian government has declared a Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18 March 2020 until now with the recovery phase being carried out and closing all sector operations including the education sector. Thus, this study aims to look at the resolution taken by the Ministry of Education (KPM) to ensure the continuity of education of students throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO). This study focuses on the analysis of The Ministry of Education Malaysia's Letter of Release (KPM) No. 3 of 2020 which is the guidelines for the implementation of Teaching and Learning during movement control order due to the spread of Covid-19 infection dated March 27, 2020. To ensure the continuity of education for students, KPM encourages all teachers to use the learning methods through the learning platform provided by MOE-DL and the appropriate online learning platform with the help of Information Technology. Although normal methods of teaching and facilitation (PdPc) occur in the classroom, in dealing with this virus the PdPc method needs to be changed in line with the 21st Century Learning (PAK21). With the help of this study, parents, students, and teachers were able to realize KPM's desire to keep the knowledge from stalling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
