KKNT-41 Kersoharjo Conducts a Webinar on Changing Childrens Behavior Changed with Online Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic  

Friday, February 12, 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic forces restrictions on social, economic and religious activities including learning activities. The closure of several public facilities, sports arenas, shops and schools conducted online has an impact on children's behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic. This change in behavior is due to the learning process being carried out differently than before the pandemic. Previously it was done face-to-face until finally it had to be online. Because not all children can learn smoothly. There are so many obstacles faced by every child that changes children's behavior. This supports the Kersoharjo Group 41 Thematic Community Service to hold a webinar "Changing Children's Behavior During the Covid-19 Pandemic with Online Learning" on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 held offline and online. Although offline, they still maintain health protocols.

The speakers in the webinar were Mr. Ridam Dwi Laksono, S.Si., M.Pd. lecturer at the Universitas PGRI Madiun. This activity is carried out offline, precisely at the house of the head of hamlet II Jl. Mayang Dusun Kerso II Kersoharjo Village, Kec. Geneng, Kab. Ngawi. While offline was attended by Mrs. Anik, the head of the hamlet and several parents of students whose house was not far from the place where the activity was carried out as well as five KKN members. While online this is done through the google meet application and is attended by all members of the Kersoharjo group 41 Thematic Community Service Community Service (KKN). Simultaneously the event was held at 09.30 WIB-10.30 WIB.

The webinar was running smoothly without any obstacles. "Because not all children can carry out online learning by themselves, some are guided by their parents, some have their parents working, so that online learning becomes obstructed or ineffective, now it makes children study strikes," explained the speaker, Mr. Laksono, S.Si., M.Pd. This is very influential on the child's psychology, because previously children received learning directly together with their friends until they finally received their own learning online. The difference makes children feel heavy doing their tasks. Moreover, some are constrained by internet connection and limited ability to use gadgets.
