Abstract

The utilization of online learning platforms in elementary schools is affected by several factors. One of the factors is the difference in the region, rural and urban. The objectives of this study are to investigate a) the platforms used to support online learning in public elementary schools based on regional differences, b) the online learning process through platforms for rural and urban areas, and c) the teacher’s reason for selecting this platform. This study is a case study of online learning at a public elementary school in Bali, Indonesia. Mixed methods were used as the approach, with an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. A total of 179 public elementary school teachers were agreeable to being involved as respondents. They were spread out in both rural and urban areas in nine regencies and municipalities in Bali province. They filled in online questionnaires. Furthermore, interviews were conducted with 10 teachers who filled in the questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to determine the percentage. Thematic analysis was used in analyzing the interview data. The results showed that there are no significant differences in the platform used for online learning between rural and urban elementary school areas in Bali. There are similarities in the choice of the main platform between teachers in rural and urban areas in the implementation of online learning. The reasons for the similarity in choosing online learning platforms by teachers in the two regions were also revealed in the study. Thus, several recommendations are discussed in this paper.
