Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a fairly broad impact, including in the field of education. Ut also felt considerable changes during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in the implementation of practicum for UT FKIP students. The purpose of this study is to analyze student involvement in the implementation of practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. This study involved 127 samples of FKIP UT'students. The instrument used in research activities is a questionnaire to obtain information about student activities and involvement in the implementation of practicum during the Covid-19 pandemic. To see the influencing factors, a test based on the p-value is used. Testing groups students into several factors including: gender, age, last education, location/region, UPBJJ and others. One of the conclusions in this study was drawn from the p-value obtained for each category. To see the relationship between student characteristics and student engagement, a correlation test was used. After the analysis is carried out, it can be concluded that if you want to increase involvement and compile instruments and guidelines for the standard process of implementing practicum, you need to pay attention to several things, including: location / domicile, type of tutorial given, student GPA and work done. In designing and implementing practicum activities, differences in student involvement that arise due to these factors need to be considered. Based on the results of the analysis between student characteristics and student involvement in the practicum, it shows that engagement will be strong when considering the enriching educational experience.
