STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AND ATTITUDES IN USING VIDEO CONFERENCE ZOOM AS A LEARNING MEDIA FOR EFL LEARNING

Abstract

This research aimed to determine students' perceptions and attitudes toward using zoom as a learning medium during online EFL learning. This research uses the theory of Davis (1989), namely the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) theory. This research also uses a qualitative descriptive method by Moleong (2017). Data sources were obtained from 50 8th-semester students by distributing questionnaires, and ten randomly selected students for interviews. The results of the questionnaire obtained were processed using IBM SPSS v.22. and interviews by entering interview transcripts. The results of this study indicate that students have positive perceptions and attitudes about using zoom as a learning medium during online learning. Students consider zooming, a video conferencing tool that helps students with online learning during the pandemic. Zoom is the right solution for learning, discussing, and attending meetings and webinars because its features make it very easy for students to interact with lecturers and classmates simultaneously, anywhere and anytime.
