Abstract

The purpose of this study was to gauge the impact of students’ time management on students’ learning outcome during distance learning due to Covid-19 pandemic. Previous studies have showed the importance of time management at school on learning outcomes. Time management during this forced-distance-learning was particularly interesting to be studied, since students were practicing it independently at home without teacher’s direct supervision. Without direct supervision of teacher at school, students depended solely on their discipline in managing their time at home to conduct distance learning. The sampling technique was convenience sampling with 72 students participating in Basic Building Construction course in Spring Semester 2019/2020 at State Vocational High School 5 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The variable of time management was elaborated into two aspects, namely schedule planning and activities of adhering to the schedule. Quantitative method was used by utilizing correlation and regression analysis. There was a positive correlation between time management and learning outcomes. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that there was a statistically significant impact of students’ time management on online learning outcomes. The effect of time management on learning outcomes accounted for 45.2% of the variance of learning outcomes. This study conformed previous studies which showed the positive correlation between the two variables. In addition, this study highlighted students’ time management during online learning could was more determined by the variable of adhering to schedule set in the time planning process. This study informed teachers on how to supervise students’ time management during online learning to attain better learning outcomes.
