employed a survey research to 30 students and interview to 5 students of the

Seventh semester students of English Education Department. The questionnaire

online learning by using WhatsApp group. Because WhatsApp can help them in

the teaching and learning process during the pandemic era, but they also have

some difficulties in online learning by using WhatsApp group. In summary, the

perception of the students on online learning by using WhatsApp group is neutral.

Therefore, the researcher hopes social media to applied for the students to use

Saat ini, penggunaan teknologi telah berkembang pesat dalam dunia

pendidikan. Siswa dan guru dapat memanfaatkan teknologi dalam proses belajar

mengajar mereka. Salah satunya dengan mengaplikasikan teknologi sebagai

media dalam proses belajar mengajar. WhatsApp merupakan salah satu dari

sekian banyak jenis teknologi yang dapat digunakan dalam dunia pendidikan.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi persepsi mahasiswa tentang

penggunaan WhatsApp grup dalam proses pembelajaran online; dan megetahui

hambatan yang di hadapi siswa dalam melakukan pembelajaran oline

menggunakan WhatsApp grup. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut peneliti

melakukan survey terhadap 30 mahasiswa dan wawancara terhadap 5 mahasiswa

semester VII jurusan pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Survey kuisioner terdiri dari

pertanyaan tertutup.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa memiliki persepsi yang

neutral terhadap pembelajaran online menggunakan grup WhatsApp. Hal ini

dikarenakan WhatsApp dapat membantu mahasiswa dalam proses pemelajaran

daring selama masa pandemi, tetapi mereka juga mempunyai beberapa hambatan

dalam pembelajaran online sengan menggunakan grup WhatsApp. Singkatnya,

persepsi mahasiswa terhadap pembelajaran online dengan menggnakan grup

WhatsApp adalah netral.

Pada akhir penelitian ini, peneliti berharap sosial media dapat di gunakan siswa

sebagai alat pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang efektif. Peneliti juga memberi

saran kepada guru, agar menyertakan gamapar ataupun vidio saat pebelajar online,

agar lebih mudah dipahami oleh mahasiswa.
