Disembodied behavior and communication effectiveness in learning activity during the Covid-19 pandemic era

Abstract

Currently, Corona is a hot topic of discussion. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), better known as the coronavirus, is a new type of coronavirus that causes infectious diseases in humans. The online learning system (on the network) is the answer for universities to continue to carry out academic activities. Online learning is a learning system without face-to-face directly between lecturers and students but is done virtually. Lecturers must ensure that teaching and learning activities continue while students are at home. The solution is that lecturers must be able to design learning activities as innovations by utilizing online media to continue running effectively. Communication between students and lecturers through video conferencing raises several problems: the low creativity of students, the difficulty of achieving communication effectiveness, and generating demotivation and disembodied behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of (1) effectiveness of virtual lecturer communication based on student perspectives, (2) student demotivation, (3) student disembodied behavior, and (4) student creativity. This research uses a descriptive method. The sampling method used is incidental sampling, where the subjects studied are lecturers and students willing to participate in filling out research questionnaires. The number of lecturers in this study was 91 people from 25 universities in the city of Bandung, with a total of 100 courses, so a sample size of 200 sampling units was obtained, where the sampling unit was lecturer-subjects. The results showed that the student creativity variable was in the high category, the demotivating variable was in the low category, the disembodied behavior variable was in the moderate category, and the lecturer's communication effectiveness variable was in the very high category

“…Numerous studies demonstrate that when participating in online learning activities, students are more engaged and driven to study. [31] In agreement with that, Suwatno, Hadijah, Adman, Islamy, and Muhidin [32] discovered that in addition to being highly motivating, ICT also enables students to develop their creativity, thinking habits, attitudes, personalities, and problem-solving abilities.…”

Development of an Automated Message Writing Tool Assisted by Artificial Intelligence to Facilitate Communication between Students and Lecturers

“…Effective communication between lecturers and students can create a conducive learning environment and boost academic achievement [9]. The lecturer-student relationship significantly affects students' motivation and overall learning experience [10]. Improved communication has several potential benefits, including heightened student engagement, deeper comprehension of course materials, and enhanced feedback and support from lecturers [11][12][13].…”
