Response of junior high school students to Edmodo as an online science learning media.

Science learning is generally carried out in the classroom, but because this is an emergency period for the spread of COVID-19, learning is carried out remotely or online. Technology that has developed rapidly makes it easier for educators and students to interact virtually. One of the technologies in education that are widely used around the world is Edmodo. This study aims to determine student responses to Edmodo as an online science learning media. The subjects in this study were 8th-grade junior high school students in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Student's response data were obtained from a questionnaire containing a statement of agreeing/disagree accompanied by the reasons of the answer. The results of the questionnaire are then described in the results and discussion section. Based on the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the student's response to Edmodo as an online learning media as a whole is a positive response. Students get new experiences in the learning process that have never been obtained before. One of the obstacles experienced by students when using Edmodo as an online learning media is the limited knowledge of the language. Some features use English, for students who have poor English skills, this can be an obstacle during the learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
