Strategi Guru Sosiologi Melalui Model Pembelajaran Blended Learning Pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19 di SMAN 4 Makassar

Abstract

This study aims to identify the strategies used by sociology teachers in implementing the Blended Learning model, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting the enhancement of learning capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results revealed that sociology teachers at SMAN 4 Makassar implemented various strategies for Blended Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as creating instructional videos, PowerPoint presentations, and assigning tasks. Supporting factors for enhancing learning capacity included providing free internet data and distributing digital books. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors included students’ psychological conditions, such as boredom with the learning process. The limitation of this study lies in its narrow scope, being limited to one school only; there should have been a comparison between urban and rural schools. Future research should employ quantitative methods to measure the effectiveness level of using the Blended Learning model.
