Education Technology Research Trends in Indonesia During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to determine trends in research on educational technology carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The research method used is a descriptive approach using content analysis. The results revealed four prominent trends, namely: (1) The most researched area during the COVID-19 pandemic were online learning; (2) The most used research method is library research; (3) The most widely used learning media are google classroom and WhatsApp; and (4) The trend of combining more than one learning media in online learning. From the trends found, it can be seen that Indonesia has developed in educational technology. It needs research on a larger scale covering the Asia-Pacific region in the future.
