- Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected many countries around the world, including Indonesia. Due to the pandemic, the higher education teaching has been disrupted. Teaching and learning activities cannot be done in-person and are switched to a virtual learning system. Therefore, this study analyzes the effectiveness of the virtual regional financial accounting practicum during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study utilizes the descriptive qualitative approach. The data is collected through focus group discussion (FGD) method among the practicum lecturers and survey to students taking the practicum. The results show that the virtual regional financial accounting practicum has several advantages, such as students can learn more independently; learning is more efficient as it saves time, energy, and costs; communication can be made easier and faster between lecturers and students; and the practicum can help preventing the transmission of the Covid-19 in the campus area. However, some of the obstacles found from the study are unstable internet connection, less effective teaching methods, decreased teaching and learning enthusiasm, and unsupportive financial condition of some students. This study concludes that the virtual learning is necessary to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 at campus and the virtual regional financial accounting practicum could be implemented effectively by resolving the obstacles properly.
