Abstract

The Government of Indonesia makes policy by implementing learning with online system through several online platforms. This study raised the topic about students’ perception of English course during online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic with the online Whatsapp platform used by grade 8 students of SMP Negeri 1 Perak, Jombang. It adopted the theory of Technology Acceptance Model by Davis which involves the perception of ease of use, perception of usability, attitude technology to use, and behavioral intentions to be used as indicators to obtain student perception data through questionnaires and interviews. It employed descriptive case studies using purposive sampling techniques. Online questionnaires and interviews are used to collect data on students’ perceptions by using the online Whatsapp platform. While qualitative data was collected using face-to-face interviews with 6 students. The results of this study showed a positive perception of grade 8 H students from SMP Negeri 1 Perak who took English course using the online Whatsapp platform. Overall, this study confirms that education with an online system has good potential in the learning and teaching experience in students of SMP Negeri 1 Perak who take English course based on four indicators, perception of ease of use, perception of usability, attitude technology to use, and behavioral intentions. Further studies may refer to other methods and media in learning through the online system in ICT integrated learning programs suitable for junior and high school.
