IMPLEMENTATION OF WEBINAR TUTORIALS ON ONLINE TUTORIALS FOR SCIENTIFIC PAPERS COURSES IN THE SOCIOLOGY PROGRAM

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the implementation of a webinar-based online tutorial learning program in Karya Ilmiah courses. This is because starting from the 2022 academic year, students who take the scientific papers course, apart from being required to take online tutorials, are also required to take part in webinar tutorials. The focus of this research is Sociology students who take scientific papers courses and tutors. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach using interview techniques. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the implementation of online tutorials for scientific work courses went smoothly even though there were only a few participants, not half the total participants. We can see the implementation of this webinar tutorial from the management of learning implementation, learning activities, participation in the webinar tutorial, interactions in the webinar tutorial, and responses in the webinar tutorial. In the course of learning through this webinar tutorial, various obstacles or barriers were encountered. The obstacles found included problems logging in to Microsoft Office365, not being able to create a webinar tutorial link, not being able to record the webinar, poor internet network, lack of student participation, and constraints on the schedule/time of holding the webinar. Apart from that, another obstacle is students' ignorance that scientific work webinar tutorials are something that must be followed. Therefore, it is important to socialize the mandatory provisions for participating in the Scientific Papers webinar tutorial.
