Abstract

The implementation of online learning at the beginning of the covid-19 outbreak brought up some interference for most teachers and students. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is thought to be the answer for teachers in dealing with current online learning problems. This study aims to explore the TPACK skills of Lampung language teachers and the advantages and problems of online Lampung language classes. A survey method was employed to conduct this study in which a questionnaire consisting of 33 statements and 5 open-ended questions was administrated to 138 Lampung language teachers in Lampung, Indonesia. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively by using factor analysis and the descriptions of teacher explanations. The results showed that Lampung language teachers, in general, have mastered TPACK in their online classes such as the use of various learning media and educational platforms. Giving assignments in creative forms such as making videos of folk songs during the learning process amid the pandemic using local languages can be used by Lampung language teachers to create non-boring learning. This study provides an overview of Lampung language teachers’ TPACK skills and some information related to the problems and advantages faced in online Lampung language learning during the covid-19 pandemic. As a consequence, it can be the reference for policymakers to make the best Lampung language learning system.
