Learning style from face-to-face to online learning in pandemic COVID-19 (the case study at East Java)

Distance education has been an alternative education during COVID-19 pandemic. This education is undertaken by children from different economic conditions. During the pandemic, there is no difference between children from high and low-income economies. This study was designed to determine how the education during the pandemic in Indonesia differentiates from one region to another. The study employed qualitative research with a case study approach. The results showed that students received a different education apart from distance education during the pandemic. In the odd-even semester, face-to-face learning was carried out at the junior and senior high school levels. In the elementary school setting, learning activities were done in the form of small study groups with face-to-face learning activities. In the university context, learning was carried out online or referred to as asynchronous and was done using media spaces such as Zoom, Google Meet and Google Classroom as a means of delivering material.
