The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mathematics learning in higher education during learning from home (LFH): students' views for the new normal

Covid-19 Pandemic has an impact on education that is bringing up new policies for learning from home. The purpose of this study was to determine students' views on learning mathematics in higher education while learning from home and its sustainability towards a new normal. This type of research is qualitative with data collection techniques using online surveys and interviews. Respondents in this study were 169 students of Mathematics Education in Higher Education. The results of this study indicate that 100% of lectures are conducted online with a composition of 34.32% in the form of Asynchronous Online Course, 19.53% Synchronous Online Course, and 46.15% using Hybrid Online Course. The effectiveness of online course that has been carried out was obtained 7.1% very effective, 20.1% effective, 53.8% sufficient, 17.8% less effective, and 1.2% ineffective. Open questions are provided in the questionnaire to allow students to convey constraints/difficulties experienced during Learning from Home (LFH), including network constraints, health problems, costs, the environment, course constraints, and time problems. Student responses regarding the application of the Blended Learning method in the new normal period showed 48% agreed, 31% were doubtful, and 21% disagreed.
