Blended Learning Assisted Learning as an Effort to Increase Students' Learning Motivation in the New Normal Era

Learning motivation is an important aspect, because low learning motivation has an impact on student learning outcomes. Therefore, learning motivation needs attention and studies are carried out so that teachers can determine the right solution to problems that arise in student learning outcomes. This study aims to determine student motivation during the new normal period in assisted learning with the blended learning model. Covid-19, which has had an impact on the education system, has forced teachers to apply distance learning both offline and online. Entering the new normal era, learning can be done face to face. Therefore, the application of a learning model that combines distance and face-to-face learning can be done proportionally. It is important to understand how student learning motivation is affected by changes in learning from non-face-to-face learning to blended learning. This research was conducted in class V SDN Inpres Silae, Palu City, Central Sulawesi. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, with a focus on data collection on three things, namely observation, interviews and document study. Data analysis was carried out through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusion. The results showed that increasing student motivation in social studies subjects in Class V SDN Inpres Silae, namely evaluators, class managers, mediators and facilitators, and


Introduction
Education in the New Normal era faces new challenges in providing quality and relevant learning experiences for students.Education in the new normal should be can adapt with condition transition from maintenance learning in the time of covid (Samarenna, 2020) .This situation encourages educators and policy makers to look for innovations and solutions that suit the needs of the times, innovation and teacher creativity matter This the more challenged Because There is transition from condition previously (Umartin, 2022) .One approach that is attracting attention is Blended Learning Assisted Learning.Application learning with the help of blended learning is sufficient reasoned, based a number of findings research conducted _ previously (Rosmayati & Maulana, 2021) .
Blended Learning is a learning strategy that combines face-to-face learning with the use of digital technology, such as online learning platforms, video conferencing and other digital resources.Blended learning becomes important because during the pandemic, participants educate faced with full distance learning Far.So that Still must adapt again with learning stare face, so must done adjustments for participants educate No experience shock and stress (Abdullah, 2018) .In the New Normal context, this learning model becomes increasingly relevant because it allows students to stay connected with educators and learning materials without having to be physically present at school.Blended learning in the new normal period has become one of the most common learning models used by teachers to remember the transition period from the covid era (Nurhadi, 2020).
Students' learning motivation is an important aspect in achieving effective learning outcomes.Motivation studying in the new normal is a must Keep going improved for participants educate can Study in accordance with internal and external conditions, remembering that motivation Study can influenced by factors intrinsic and factors intrinsic (Adiputra & Mujiyati, 2017) .With a high level of motivation, students will be more active and enthusiastic in learning, so that the learning process can run more smoothly and optimal results can be achieved (Sulastri et al., 2017) .

Literature Review
According to Hasibuan, Rukaiah Proklik, the role of teachers in learning is that teachers must be creative, professional and fun, by positioning themselves as: parents (who are full of love for students), friends (friends who complain and express feelings for students), facilitators ( ready to provide convenience and serve students according to their interests, abilities and talents) (Suriyani, 2023) .Teachers who do not carry out learning activities in accordance with the RPP, teachers who lack knowledge in understanding the media and models used in learning, teachers who are still not ready for developments in science and technology, and teachers who still dominate in learning Teachers are an important component in education even during the learning process.The reciprocal relationship between teachers and students during learning occurs because of an action that has been carried out by the teacher and students.improving the quality of teachers in the dalat learning process as an effort to improve the quality of education (Sari et al., 2021) .A teacher is someone who plays a role during the teaching and learning process which influences a person's quality and personality in learning activities.The teacher's role is an action by the teacher that is carried out during the learning process.The teacher's role is very important in interacting with students during learning.
Teachers play an important role in increasing students' motivation and interest in learning.The role of the teacher in increasing student learning motivation is with the teacher as informator, evaluator, motivator, mediator and director.Meanwhile, the teacher's role in increasing interest in learning is by providing learning facilities, implementing creative ideas, using media, and organizing learning (Sari et al., 2021) .Teachers should apply learning with more varied methods and use more creative media.So, students will feel more motivated and interested in participating in learning activities.Every child has differences and characteristics in their own way of learning.This also encourages the role of teachers in paying more attention to the differences and characteristics of children's learning methods.A teacher as an educator in teaching does not expect children to know what is taught in school, but teachers must know what to teach children in class (Suswandari et al., 2021) .Be a good role model/example wherever the teacher is, especially in class/school.Imitation from children will provide a good stimulus, so they will also get a good response from the child.
A teacher can be defined as a person who has integrity of knowledge who educates, enlightens and becomes a role model for everyone in social and religious life.(Putri & Nasution, 2023) .A teacher must also be able to carry out his duties in several different roles.He not only transfers knowledge, but also becomes an educator.In the view of (Dimadja et al., 2023) ) the teacher's role includes: 1) The role of the teacher as a demonstrator.As a demonstrator, a teacher is a teacher in the field of knowledge he or she masters.Therefore, in order to carry out their role well, a teacher must master the subject matter to be taught.He must also continuously study to improve his assignment of knowledge appropriate to his field.So that the knowledge they have can be conveyed to students well, a teacher must also be skilled in understanding the curriculum, explaining operational objectives, and also being able to use learning methodologies and tools optimally.
2) The teacher's role as class manager.As a class manager, a teacher must be able to create an atmosphere or learning conditions in the class.He must also be able to stimulate students to be active in the learning process, skilled in controlling the classroom atmosphere so that it remains warm, safe, interesting and conducive.
3) The role of the teacher as a mediator and facilitator.As a mediator, a teacher is required to have sufficient knowledge and understanding of educational media as a communication tool in the learning process.Teachers must be skilled in selecting, using, and managing educational media, and able to be an intermediary (media) in relationships between students in the teaching and learning process.As a facilitator, teachers should be able to provide useful learning resources, and can support the achievement of goals in the teaching and learning process, both in the form of sources, textbooks, magazines, newspapers and other learning resources.
4) The role of the teacher as an evaluator.As an evaluator, a teacher is required to be able to carry out the evaluation process.The purpose of evaluation is to determine success in implementing learning ( Feed back ) and assess student learning outcomes.A teacher is also required to have other skills and abilities, such as formulating valid and reliable test tools; use test and non-test tools appropriately; carry out assessments objectively, honestly and fairly; and follow up on evaluation results proportionally.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that the role of the teacher is very important in education, because it is the teacher who helps students overcome difficulties in the learning process, who tries to create an environment that encourages students to carry out learning activities.Teachers as professionals as intended in article 2 paragraph 1 function to increase the dignity and role of teachers as learning agents to improve the quality of national education.The teacher's role is to improve the quality of lessons for the sake of improving national education.
The teacher as a facilitator means the teacher facilitates the learning process.The facilitator is tasked with directing, giving direction, facilitating students' learning activities, and providing encouragement.According to (Izzulhaq et al., 2023) .In the educational context, the term facilitator was originally applied more for the purposes of adult education ( andragogy ), especially in non-formal education environments.However, in line with changes in the meaning of teaching which places more emphasis on student activities, recently in Indonesia the term facilitator has begun to be adopted in formal education environments in schools, namely regarding the role of teachers when carrying out teaching and learning interactions.So the teacher as a facilitator means that the teacher plays a role in facilitating learning activities in order to achieve educational goals.The teacher's job as a facilitator is not just to pursue but to develop, guide, motivate and provide positive reinforcement (reinforcing) to students.

Result/Findings
Interview result show that at times beginning apply blended learning has base enough thought _ rational.Revealed from results interview that during learning distance Far well implemented _ online or offline, characters participant educate experience quite a decline drastic." moment learning via zoom, visible participant educate many fall asleep in front of the monitor, some do n't focus on the teacher's explanation, and always stand leaving the monitor, though I currently explain " ( Nurjanah, 5 February 2023).On another occasion the teacher stated: that although participant educate waiting his parents at the time online learning in nature synchronous, however There is just Act in demand participant educate those who don't relevant with learning.Moment learning done in condition stare face, then behavior participant educate those who don't relevant at the time online learning occurs confirmed and directed behavior _ study well _ although learn it from House.Reviewed from side time, blended learning is sufficient efficient Because learning can continues whenever and wherever especially in learning distance far away in nature asynchronous.Learning media used _ in blended learning is power point presentations (ppt), movies, and images.Instructional Media This used good at times Study distance Far nor stare face.Motivating efforts participant educate Study in stare mode inside face _ class, teacher always rolling seating, so after One or two meetings participant educate will get member different groups._ Learning distance Far as has stated above _ done in two activities ie synchronous and asynchronous.Synchronous is done through application zoom and applications googlemeet.Temporary asynchronously done through WhatsApp group, google document, and google form.WhatsApp groups are used For send group content in the form of ppt, video links, short films and images as well as content shaped narrative.Google documents are the media used For gather answer participant educate in form description, discourse and narrative in nature interactive with participant educate others, while google form is used For gather answer participant educate For test shaped objective.its nature only two ways.Participant educated at SDN Inpres Silae Already own and use device technology Android based, so use various supporting applications _ learning No just at the moment learning distance Far but also at the moment learning stare face offline.The following image shows the learning process stare offline advance;   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9   1  0   1  1   1  2   1 ASY  3 3 4 3 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 38  3.17  48   2 ALF  4 4 3 3 4 3 3 3 3 4 3 3 2 above show that teacher activities in blended learning is on average good, it looks of 3 components observations that obtain results Good.With thereby reviewed from the teacher's side does not found nonconformity in application learning with a blended learning model.Based on the data in table 2, the teacher does not experience difficulty in apply blended learning well to learning stare advance as well as activities Study Jaraj Far.This data need confirmed with activity data participant educate, so the effectiveness of blended learning does not only from corner teacher's point of view but also from corner look participant educate.In line with matter, then in tab _ following will Activity data is displayed Study participant educate; Based on the data in table 3 above, the average activity Study participant educate is at in category OK, though Still There is one activities that are in the category enough.With thereby reviewed from corner look participant students, the implementation of blended learning, especially in the new normal period good and can fulfil need learn it.

Discussion
Interview result reveal that implementation blended learning has base enough thought _ rational.In context this is what teachers have to do can positioning himself as designer learning that has responsibility as planner, organizer and assessor learning ( Sayang, 2018 ) .Learning distance Far Good online and offline shows _ exists decline character participant quite drastic education conditions _ supported by the results research that states that happen decline character participant educate during the Covid-19 pandemic (Bangun et al., 2021;Massie & Nababan, 2021) .This matter the more strengthen with No the presence of parental control to use gadget devices owned by participants educate (Massie & Nababan, 2021) .In online learning, a lot participant students who fall asleep in front of the monitor, less focus on the teacher's explanation, and there is always stand leave the monitor while the teacher explains.Although participant educate waiting parent moment synchronous online learning, still there is Act in demand participant educate those who don't relevant with learning.Impact online learning even in the new normal period remains exist and become the part that doesn't inseparable from problems learning in the current digital era This (Rosmayati & Maulana, 2021) .
On the other hand, when learning done in condition stare face, behavior participant educate those who don't relevant at the time online learning is confirmed and behaviordirected study well _ although learn it from House.Shaping and building character participant educate become important in the midst of an era of disruption like moment this, teacher always occupy order first and foremost in formal education pathway (Arifudin, 2015) .The reality until moment this is still a teacher is center coaching character participant educate, though time spent _ with more teachers A little compared to with time spent _ with parents and family (Nur'asiah et al., 2021) .In matter this, got it seen that interaction direct in learning stare advance help increase quality learning and reducing Act behavior that doesn't relevant (Maunah, 2016) .
