The Online Tutorials Evaluation in Education Statistics Course at Pokjar Kendal Indonesia

Abstract

The implementation of online tutorials introduces difficulties in the learning process. Along with studying lecture material, students must also master technology. On this basis, an evaluation of the Education Statistics course is necessary. This evaluation focuses on implementing online tutorials and the factors that impede their implementation. This study aims to determine the quality of online tutorials available for the Education Statistics course. The research subjects are students from the Universitas Terbuka at Pokjar Kaliwungu and Kendal. This study is categorized as a qualitative descriptive study. Observation sheets, questionnaires, and interviews were used to collect data. The findings indicated that: 1) 47.1 percent of students use learning resources in the form of books, 47.1 % use learning videos, 70.6 % use websites, and 38.2 % use other sources;2) most students (61.8 %) struggle with hypothesis testing material, while 64.7 % struggle with linear regression analysis material; and 3) the difficulty of the material is because the material is difficult to understand by 35.3%; high difficulty by 50%; students have never been 35.3%; high material complexity by 29.4% and other 5.9%. Based on the findings of these studies, it can be concluded that there are still a significant number of students who struggle with the material covered in Education Statistics. The analysis suggests that: 1) lecturers should focus on hypothesis testing and linear regression analysis material in the tutorial to help students overcome difficulties; and 2) lecturers emphasize the application of statistics in research.
