Evaluation of Implementation of Biochemistry Lectures During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has been going on for more than two years, has had a serious impact on several fields, including education. One of the impacts on the education sector is adjustments to the implementation of learning. Learning that is usually done offline has changed to online learning. In this research, an evaluation was carried out on the implementation of lectures in four courses in the biochemistry group during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a descriptive case study design. Research data was obtained from document analysis, questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires were given to 155 students (from 4 classes), while interviews were conducted with 2 lecturers. The questionnaire consists of closed questions related to 5 aspects related to the implementation of biochemistry lectures, with a scale of 1 to 9. Data were analyzed qualitatively, using triangulation techniques. The results of the research show that the implementation of lectures in the four courses in the biochemistry group has been carried out well. This is shown by the positive responses from students obtained through questionnaires. However, there are slight differences in student learning outcomes compared to pre-pandemic conditions. But of course, this needs to be investigated further.
