Students ' Perception of The Implementation of Heutagogical Approach in Online Teaching and Learning by Islamic Education Teachers

Abstract

The temporary closure of all schools in Malaysia to curb the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has caused the MOE to implement online teaching and learning at home methods to replace face-to-face learning in schools. This situation has presented new challenges to teachers, parents, and especially students. Therefore, a Heutagogical approach that emphasizes self-learning is essential to ensure the sustainability of education among students. Therefore, this article analyses students' perceptions on the implementation of the Heutagogical approach during online teaching and learning at home (PdPR) in the MCO (Movement Control Order) phase. Seven Selangor secondary school students participated in semi-structured interviews and document analysis for this qualitative study. A thematic analysis of the interview transcripts was followed by a triangulation with document analysis. The results of the interviews showed that students' perceptions of the implementation of Heutagogical approaches in online teaching and learning can encourage involvement, increase curiosity, set goals in learning, ability to access information, collaborate, and always share knowledge. Heutagogical approaches in online teaching and learning can encourage involvement, increase curiosity, set goals in learning; the ability to access information, collaborate with each other, share knowledge; and the ability to collaborate and always share knowledge.
