Students’ Attitudes towards Collaborative Learning through E-Learning During Covid-19: A Male and Female Students

Abstract

<span>The regulation and policy in the teaching and learning process are changing during this pandemic (Covid-19). The face-to-face learning process is altered by online learning. This evolution faces numerous obstacles throughout the world including in Indonesia. Information Communication and Technologies (ICTs) have a pivotal role in supporting materials and media for tutors or teachers in learning English because teachers can provide videos, music, and any other materials in e-learning that can be accessed everywhere and anytime by pupils. Collaborative learning could boost students’ motivation to learn English so that learning can be more interesting, easier, and interactive. The aims of this research are to identify students’ attitudes towards collaborative learning with ICTs through e-learning and to compare women's and men’s attitudes towards collaborative learning with ICTs through online learning. This research is mixed research namely quantitative research with a 5-point Likert scale using a questionnaire and qualitative by interviewing the students. The research results show that most of the students agree that collaborative learning through ICTs has a positive impact on learners’ attitudes during the pandemic. Then, females have a higher percentage than males in most of the items; however, males have much more interest in using the internet for their daily life. It is expected that government should provide some training to students not only on how to use the technology but also how to utilize the technology to gain appropriate materials; then blended learning would be much better to strengthen good communication and interaction between students and educators.</span>

Integrating the use of social media for group collaboration in ESP classroom

“…This result supported previous studies that mentioned the positive perception of using social media in learning (such as Lailiyah and Setiyaningsih, 2020;Moghavvemi et al, 2018;Orús et al, 2016;Sari and Wahyudin, 2019). And the use of social media is beneficial for group collaboration (Al-Rahmi et al, 2014;Dewi & Muhid, 2021;Othman, 2017). The result also pointed out that by using social media, students learned from each other interactively.…”

Educational equity amidst COVID-19: Exploring the online learning challenges of Bedouin and Jewish Female Preservice Teachers in Israel

“…Despite the abundance of studies on online learning during the pandemic, it appears that the issue of learning equity among gender-based minority groups received little attention. In fact, only a handful of studies examined female students' experiences of online distance learning ( Dewi & Muhid, 2021 ; Shahzad et al., 2021 ); moreover, their focus was on the participants’ attitudes, rather than on challenges. A study published in The Lancet indicated that female academics were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19, which in turn lessened their scientific productivity.…”

Structural model of information and communication technology and 21st-century skills in vocational school students

“…Prior research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between ICT and critical thinking skills (González-González & Jiménez-Zarco, 2015;McMahon, 2009), ICT and communication skills (Isnaeni et al, 2021;José Sá & Serpa, 2018;Judge et al, 2011;María A et al, 2018), ICT and collaboration skills (Blau et al, 2020;Dewi & Muhid, 2021;Gellerstedt et al, 2018), and between ICT and creativity (Henriksen et al, 2018;Nikolopoulou, 2018;Stolaki & Economides, 2018). However, this prior research examined the relationship between ICT skills and a particular part of 4C skills.…”
