Abstract


ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic that started at the end of December 2019 has brought tremendous impacts on education in Indonesia and worldwide. Responding to this situation, the ministry of education appeals to some educational institutions to conduct online learning during the pandemic. SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta is one of the schools which consistently adhered to the regulation by maintaining the learning process through Moodle-based E-Learning. This phenomenological study is designed to explore students’ and teachers’ perceptions toward the implementation of Moodle E-Learning in ELT during the pandemic. The semi-structured interview was conducted to twenty students and three teachers to get the data based on their beliefs, perceptions, experiences, and perspectives toward the phenomenon. Results of this study show that the use of Moodle E-Learning brings benefits to the ELT Classroom. It builds students’ learning interest and contributes to the enhancement of technological and pedagogical aspects in ELT. Comprehensive material and learning sources are beneficial to expand students’ autonomous learning and problem-solving skills. Further, maximizing Moodle E-Learning features such as discussion forum and teleconference can bridge the demand of blended learning. Thus, Moodle E-Learning is a recommended platform for conducting online learning especially during the pandemic.
