ONLINE LEARNING STRATEGY (DISTANCE LEARNING)

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to explore how distance learning (PJJ) strategies are implemented by educators to create meaningful and effective learning experiences, despite the absence of face-to-face interaction. The primary focus of this research is to describe the strategies employed by teachers in managing instructional content, selecting appropriate media, using technology, and adapting to the diverse conditions of learners. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied using a literature review method, in which data were obtained from various academic sources, journals, and relevant literature. The findings indicate that successful distance learning requires carefully planned strategies, particularly in analyzing instructional materials, choosing suitable learning media, maximizing the use of technology, and conducting continuous evaluations. Systematic strategies have been proven to support student autonomy and encourage active participation, even in the absence of physical classroom settings. Nevertheless, the research also identifies several challenges, including limited access to technology, low student motivation, lack of parental support, and persistent digital inequality in certain areas. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of distance learning is highly dependent on the teacher's ability to implement adaptive strategies, the availability of adequate infrastructure, and strong collaboration between educators, students, and parents. Online learning is not solely about the use of digital tools, it is also about maintaining student motivation, fostering emotional connections, and creating a human-centered learning environment despite physical distance. With the right strategy and empathetic approach, distance learning can evolve into an inclusive and sustainable educational model.
