The Challenges of Teaching Using “Active Learning” Method in the Pandemic Era

Abstract

As we all know, the Covid-19 Pandemic is currently ravaging the world. Due to social separation to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, several activities have been restricted. The teaching-learning process, on the other hand, must continue for students and teachers. Holding teaching and learning activities online is one approach to keep them going. In order for students to keep on going active, a method of active learning is used in the process of studying. This study describes the difficulties that a teacher experiences when using active learning methods in Japanese online class. This research employed a qualitative approach. The participants in this study were six children from the Al-Ihsan Orphanage. Much experience was gained from teaching using the active learning method,
with one of the teachers learning to create materials that can stimulate student activity to play an active role in learning by creating appealing and understandable PowerPoint slides, then inviting students to discuss the material. As a result, students are more eager to share their thoughts, and the information being taught is better grasped.
