Dear Ms. Nana Diana,
Thank you for your appreciation and also your interesting question.
Here I am trying to answer your question.
Well, based on the decision of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of
Religion, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Home Affairs regarding guidelines for
organizing learning during the pandemic COVID-19 that learning for elementary
education and secondary education for the yellow, orange, and the red zone is
prohibited to conducting face-to-face learning. So that in those zones, continue to
carry out learning activities with online learning. That means it is impossible to
implement blended learning because blended learning is a combination of face-to-
face and online learning. So, about your question ^whether blended learning is
appropriate to implement during the pandemic or not?^ the answer is not
appropriate for implementing blended learning in areas that yellow, orange, and
red zone because that zona is prohibited from doing face-to-face learning.
However, this blended learning is appropriate to be applied in areas in which the
green zone. Based on the guidelines for organizing learning during the pandemic
COVID-19, for the green zone areas with the approval of the students^ parents,
schools may apply face-to-face learning while taking into account health protocols.
Well, policies related to the time of learning activities are returned to respective
schools. For example, if schools that make the policy of learning time activities
reduce from standard time, teachers can still carry out learning activities without
worrying about lack of time with blended learning. Because blended learning allows
teachers to carry out online learning to complement face-to-face learning activities.
That^s the answer from me. Hopefully, this answer answers your question and
hopefully useful.
Thank you.
Regards,
Yovika Sukma
