Since March 2020, the coronavirus disease has spread in Indonesia and affected many sectors of youth's life including education. Indonesia takes measures of distance learning to adapt to the pandemic, focussing on learning through digital media. Implementation of online learning in Indonesia has varying results, causing youth living in underdeveloped areas to be exposed to poor distance learning due to inadequate internet connection. This study examined how youth in the underdeveloped area of Indonesia experience online learning. 14 young people living in Kupang City, West Timor participated in photovoice and interview sessions. Thematic analysis identified three themes, which are the benefits and challenges of online learning, synchronous versus asynchronous learning, and the future of online learning. The use of photovoice managed to capture details of online learning implementation on youth and its implications are detailed further in this study.
COVID19 pandemic has forced young children to be isolated from their neighborhood and only interacted with people living under the same roof as them, to avoid the spreading of the virus. Limited social interaction might have affected young children's social and emotional development. This study aimed to explore the socioemotional struggles of young children during the pandemic. Participants in the study were 12 mothers of young children living in West Timor, Indonesia. Data were obtained using the photovoice method. Thematic analysis resulted in four main themes, which are increased use of technologies, lack of social interaction, parents' concerns, and boredom, and increased need for stimuli. Findings in this study encourage mothers and related stakeholders to take extra precautions on keeping children's wellbeing during the COVID19 pandemic.
