In the midst of the high pressure of housewives because they have to be a sudden teacher for all subjects, many positive values can only be taken from the situation. Among other things, a mother has quality time in shaping the character of children.
"Parents can enter in the interaction of school work. Parents can also play a role in explaining children's school materials that have been fully submitted to school, "explained Deassy Siska in responding to the Relaxing Chatting aka Ngobras in Pro 1 RRI Lhokseumawe, last Saturday.
According to the Universitas Malikussaleh lecturer, parents play an important role in supporting the success of online learning. Housewives who do not have other jobs, should feel lucky because they can devote full time to the formation of the child's character.
"While mothers of careers should be able to divide their time as efficiently as possible for children. Because of what? The effective time for the child's reasoning is morning and afternoon. At that time, mothers also worked, "said Deassy, who has three children in junior high, elementary and kindergarten levels.
Added, the condition makes a career woman who is also a mother must teach children in the afternoon or evening. In fact, the mother's fitness condition is also down and needs rest.
Usually, in the afternoon and evening, the child's condition is no longer fresh. Children are tired of playing all day, so the process of absorbing material and making the task less effective. To overcome this problem, Deassy optimizes time at home to help children learn online.
While Dr Rozanna Dewi believes online learning reduces teacher attention to the child's ability to master the lesson. Difficult to measure children's seriousness through online learning. "Work on tasks is also ineffective because it could be that children are looking for answers on the internet," said the environmentally friendly plastic researcher.
In addition to delegating the "burden" of teaching to parents, according to Rozanna, teachers are required to follow students' abilities. However, he believes that the online learning situation will also become accustomed to students, teachers and parents.
For Dwi Fitri, a lecturer and housewife in Lhokseumawe, online learning is nothing more than "the instant process of mothers becoming the best teachers for their children". "So far there has been a saying that mother is the main madrasa for her child. Now is the time to prove that is true,” Dwi Fitri said.
He acknowledged, many mothers who experience mild depression due to the many subjects and student assignments, in addition to mastery of technology for some mothers who are still a problem. For this reason, patience is needed in dealing with these changes. Like Deassy, Dwi also learned that the closeness and cooperation between children and mothers is increasingly built in online learning situations.
"To be honest, this online process has awakened us, mothers, to empathize with the teacher. It turns out that becoming a teacher in a school is not an easy job, so tolerance and respect for the teaching profession has drastically increased, "said the lecturer at the Malikussaleh University Communication Studies Program.
Ngobras's degree on online learning also received a response from Cut Ema Aklima in Banda Aceh. According to the Aceh Province e-Sport administrator, online learning has pluses and minuses. One obstacle, a mother must teach more than one child and only have one cellphone.
"This adds to the burden on mothers because there are domestic tasks that cannot be left behind," Ema said. According to him, children's understanding of online learning varies, sometimes there are some children who are less responsive and quick to understand the lesson. While not all mothers have a good teaching background.
The title of speech about online learning, guided by Ayi Jufridar, presented journalists and teachers, Deni Muhtadi, better known as Deni Andepa. Another resource person was Halim Abe, a community leader in Aceh Utara.
Deni criticized the Office of Education and Culture not ready to hold online learning. According to Deni, the Education Office needs to provide training to teachers and schools are expected to often coordinate with parents of students.
"There are still many teachers who do not master technology well. Parents also may not be able to master all the lessons,” says Deni who claimed to often help children in online learning.
The same thing was conveyed by Halim Abe who claimed to help children in online learning. Specifically, he highlighted the problem of uneven network availability throughout the village. "Maybe if in Lhokseumawe it is not constrained, but it is different from North Aceh, where the quality of the network is uneven in all districts," Halim said.[Ayi Jufridar]
