Pratiwi,2020. Kusnayat,2. , including the world of education, including higher education including at the Indonesian Adventist University (UNAI) in Bandung. Learning activities that were previously carried out face-to-face in class . , forced to go online with zoom meetings. As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, in accordance with the policy of the government of the Republic of Indonesia, the learning model has been returned to offline since 2023, starting with hybrid learning . nline learning for those living in dormitories on the UNAI campus and offline for those living off campu. In previous research conducted by the author, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic had an effect on student achievement (Limbong, 2. where student academic achievement However, lecturer performance scores . tudent assessment results of lecturers in online learnin. experienced a slight increase even though this increase was not significantly different from offline learning before the pandemic (Limbong,2. The performance of UNAI institutions during the pandemic was maintained during the pandemic, activities of research increased, financial conditions continued to improve even though there was a slight decrease in the number of students (Limbong, 2. Research results have also been obtained about the effect of learning models, changing from offline to online, then to hybrid and back to offline, on student stress levels where the stress level of UNAI students is low (Angelica, and Tambunan, 2021. Limbong, 2. The purpose of this study is to see whether there is an influence from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has occurred since 2020 until now, in 2023, on preferences for learning models. What percentage of students prefer or are more satisfied with online learning models than offline ones? Is there a difference in the percentage of students who prefer online to offline between male and female students, between years of admission to UNAI and faculties? METHODOLOGY Population and Sampel The population in this study were all students who registered in the 2022/2023 even semester and were on the UNAI campus for offline learning. The number of population and sample is given in the following table. Table 1.

The answer options for each question were strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree and strongly agree. The questionnaire was tested on 25 students to see its validity and reliability and it was found that the questionnaire was valid for all items having a correlation coefficient above 0. 99 with a record that the correlation was significant at 0. 01 level . -taile. and reliable with a Cronbach's alpha value of 78, given in table 3. Table 3. Data of CronbachAos Alpha for Reliability Testing Cronbach's Alpha N of Items Data analysis The data was processed statistically, using SPSS or Excel, first by looking at the percentage (%) who answered strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree and strongly agree for the 18 questions in the questionnaire. This data is to see whether according to students online learning is more satisfying than offline in terms of learning activities, academic achievement and satisfaction in extracurricular activities. The data was also analyzed using ANOVA to see if there were differences in student satisfaction in online vs offline learning according to gender, class or faculty. The hypothesis in this study is as follows: Satisfaction with online learning by gender: H01: There is no difference in online learning satisfaction according to gender Ha1: There are differences in online learning satisfaction according to gender Satisfaction with online learning by level: H02: There is no difference in online learning satisfaction according to students by grade level. Ha2: There are differences in online learning satisfaction according to level. Satisfaction with online learning by faculty H03: There is no difference in online learning satisfaction according to students by faculty. Ha3: There are differences in online learning satisfaction according to students by faculty. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Student satisfaction in activities and learning outcomes and student activities The percentage of students who are happy or satisfied with online learning rather than offline is given in table 4 below. The percentage data consists of 3 parts, the first part is those who answer agree and strongly agree (A/SA), the second is those who answer disagree and strongly disagree (D/SD), and the third is those who answer in doubt. From table 4 it can be seen from row A6 that 31. 2% of students are satisfied or very satisfied with online learning activities rather than offline, and this figure is almost the same as the percentage of students who are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with online learning. What is more dominant is that students feel happy or very happy in certain learning, for example laboratories, in certain circumstances, for example for reasons of health or weather, and learning that is carried out varies between online and offline. This result in line with the previous study with larger sample of 283 students from one private, non-profit institution in Saudi Arabia. The result revealed that average of students are satisfied with online learning program that has been quickly prepared to respond the pandemic COVID-19 situation for example selected of learning. IT support and others (Almusharraf, & Khahro.

Dissatisfaction in online learning often occurred due to some challenges such as lack of resources and internet services . nternet coverag. , lack of interaction, distraction at home . nconducive environmen. , lack of activities, and difficulty in setting a routine for online learning (Faize & Nawas, 2020. Mohamad. Maatuk et al, 2. In underdeveloped country such as Pakistan highlighted that online learning cannot produce desired results because majority of students are unable to access the internet due to technical as well as monetary issues (Muhammad & Anwar, 2.

This percentage is proportional to the percentage of students who say that their academic achievement (Semester Achievement Index or GPA) is better during online learning than offline, where 40. 8% of students say their GPA is better compared to 4% . ow B. who say otherwise. This increase in learning outcomes in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic is in accordance with the results of previous research . However, students admit that learning outcomes are better for some subjects . , not for all of them. This is shown in line B2, where 67. 2% of students said they understood online learning more for only part of the While 39. 2% of students said no to all learning, only 24. 0% said they understood all learning . ine B.

This is different from the percentage of student satisfaction with online learning activities and results. During the COVID-19 pandemic where students lived with their parents, students lost the opportunity to interact with fellow students, for example sports activities, cultural arts training, other character development activities. However, there are certain student activities where students feel more comfortable doing it online, for example public lectures, seminars, assemblies, registration, and so Specifically for registration, 75. 2% of students said they were happy with online registration, compared to 16. 0% said they were not happy . ine C. In terms of character development programs, such as devotionals and other spiritual activities, more students . 2%) said they did not like being carried out online, and only 23. 2% . ine C. said they liked character development activities being carried out online. Statisfaction Based on Gender An interesting question that needs to be answered is whether there are differences in the level of student satisfaction in the results of activities and learning outcomes, and in student extracurricular activities between male and female students? Table 5 shows the average student satisfaction data for learning activities (A), learning outcomes (B) and student extracurricular activities (C). The average percentage in the table is the average percentage for all question items in areas A. B and C, for men and women. At first glance it seems that the average male satisfaction level is slightly higher than the average female satisfaction level for the three fields. However, it is necessary to carry out an ANOVA test to see whether the difference is significant or not. In table 6, the results of the ANOVA test are given for the percentage of satisfaction according to gender . ale, femal. and sector (A. C). Tabel 5. Satisfaction Percentage for Each Gender Batch and Section Gender/Category Male Female Table 6. Satisfaction Percentage Based on Gender and Sections for ANOVA Testing ANOVA Source of Variation P-value F crit Rows (Gende. Columns (Sectio. Total From table 6 it can be seen that the ANOVA test for gender has a significance value . -valu. of 1936, this figure is greater than alpha/2 . 05/2 = 0. this means that there is no significant difference in the average satisfaction of male students with girls. ANOVA test for satisfaction fields (A. C), the p-value is 0. 0356 which is also greater than alpha/2, so it can be concluded that there is no significant difference in the percentage of satisfaction for each field between men and women. The results of the ANOVA test show that the satisfaction levels of male and female students in learning activities, learning outcomes, and learning activities are relatively the same. This study is supported by the previous study that there is no different between male and female studentsAo satisfaction on online learning before, and during the pandemic COVID-19 (Hung et al. , 2010. Goswami and Dutta 2016. Mohamad, et al. , 2020. Hettiarachchi, 2. The Effect of the COVID-19 on StudentsAo Learning Model Preferences in the New Normal Era Oleh : Albinur Limbong. Idauli Simbolon JUKI : Jurnal Komputer dan Informatika Volume 6 Nomor 1 Mei 2024 e-ISSN : 2722-4368 Satisfaction Based on Batch The next question that needs to be answered is whether there is a significant difference in the level of student satisfaction according to the year of entry . ? Table 7 below shows the average student satisfaction by class entering UNAI. Whereas in the following table the results of the ANOVA test show the level of satisfaction by class. Table 7. Satisfaction Percentage for Each Batch and Section Batch/Category B2022 B2021 B2020 B2019 and Senior From table 8 it can be seen at a glance that the average satisfaction of new students (Class of 2. is greater than the other batches, and the longer these students are in college the lower the average satisfaction. However, is the average satisfaction significantly different in terms of class and category? In table 8 is shown the data for ANOVA testing. Table 8. Satisfaction Percentage Based on Batches and Sections ANOVA Source of Variation P-value F crit Rows (Batc. Columns (Categor. Total From table 8 it can be seen that the p-value for the class is 0. 006, this figure is smaller than alpha . , this means that there is a significant difference in the average satisfaction between students according to class. Then the p-value for the fields (A. B and C) is 0. 256, this is far greater than the alpha value, so it can be concluded that there is no difference in the average satisfaction in the fields of learning activities (A), learning outcomes (B) and extracurricular activities students (C) for each batch. Statisfaction Based on Faculty The final question that is important to answer is whether there is a significant difference in the level of student satisfaction by faculty? Table 9 shows the average data on student satisfaction by faculty of economics (FE), faculty of information technology (FIT), faculty of philosophy (FP), faculty of nursing (FN) and faculty of Science (FS). It can be seen that the average satisfaction varies from one faculty to another, where the highest is the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FS), followed by the Faculty of Philosophy (FP), while the lowest is the Faculty of Economics (FE). The difference also revealed in previous study that Science and Engineering and Social Sciences students were more satisfied with the process than the Medicine and Health Sciences students (Simsek, et al. , 2. However, the average difference in satisfaction significant between the faculty need to be further examined. Table 9.

The table shows that the significance value . -valu. for the fields is 0. This value is greater than 05, this means that there is no significant difference in the average satisfaction for the three fields . earning activities, learning outcomes, and student activitie. for all faculties. Whereas for faculties the p-value is 0. 0000266, this value is much smaller than 0. 05, so it can be concluded that the average student satisfaction differs significantly between the 6 faculties at UNAI. Table 10. Satisfaction Percentage Based on Faculties and Sections for ANOVA Testing. ANOVA Source of Variation P-value F crit Rows (Sectio. Columns (Facult. 66E-05 3. Total CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION There is no significant difference in the average satisfaction of male and female students for learning activities, learning outcomes and student extracurricular activities. However, in terms of the incoming class, there is a significant difference in average student satisfaction between the 2022 batch . ew student. and other batches, where new students have a higher level of satisfaction. From the faculty side, there is a significant difference in the average student satisfaction in the 6 faculties at UNAI, where the highest average student satisfaction in the MIPA faculty is followed by Philosophy faculty students and the smallest is the average student satisfaction in the Economics faculty. Student satisfaction can be influenced by the creativity of lecturers who teach in their respective faculties in preparing learning materials and online learning processes that are carried out. So that satisfaction data can be used as an indication of which faculty lecturers are more prepared to conduct online Learning is carried out in various ways, alternately online or offline, taking into account certain circumstances, for example the weather does not allow coming to class or for reasons of the student's health condition. For certain lectures learning is more appropriate to do online than offline, for example learning that does not require offline laboratories or practice, while for practical or laboratory learning, for example offline learning is more appropriate. The implication of these results is that it is necessary to choose the right learning model . nline or offlin. for each appropriate subject to achieve these learning objectives. By choosing an appropriate learning model, online or offline, supported by the right learning resources, students can improve their academic achievement. Extracurricular activities are generally more appropriate to be carried out offline, except for certain activities such as tutoring during registration, thesis guidance and certain other activities. Student character will develop more when students can interact directly with other students directly . Moreover, in a certain mission carried out at the Adventist University of Indonesia, namely developing spiritual character, it is more appropriate to carry out these activities offline, rather than REFERENCES
