Of course, the online method has a good level of effectiveness if it can be implemented optimally but also vice versa if there are still many obstacles in the implementation poses, it will also cause several problems whose consequences will have an impact or be felt by educators and students in the school. This time the author will conduct a study carried out at Sribasuki State Elementary School 1, Kalirejo District, Central Lampung Regency about the implementation of online learning at the school. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of effectiveness of online learning at the elementary school level. The method collected in data collection is a question and answer (interview) to the resource persons, namely several students, parents of students and educators (teachers) directly or via WhatsApp. The results of the study showed various opinions from students, parents and educators (teachers). From these various opinions, it can be concluded that the online method is very helpful in the learning process and it is considered that the method is quite appropriate to be chosen during the current Covid-19 Pandemic, but on the other hand, the level of effectiveness is still assessed below the learning carried out face-to-face. Therefore, some students, parents and educators (teachers) really hope that the learning process can be carried out face-to-face as soon as possible.

Humans can contract the coronavirus through direct contact with animals that have contracted the virus. The way it spreads is called zoonotic transmission. Some things that must be done in preventing this virus according to (Ministry of Home Affairs, 2020) are to carry out hand hygiene using hand sanitizer if hands do not look dirty or wash hands with soap if hands look dirty, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth, apply coughing or sneezing etiquette by covering the nose and mouth with the inner upper arm or tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash, wear a medical mask if you have respiratory symptoms and do hand hygiene after throwing away the mask, keep a distance (at least 1 m) from people who experience 36 | (JLCEdu) Journal of Learning and Character Education Maula Desiono symptoms of respiratory distress. It is suspected that COVID-19 first appeared in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, this virus is suspected to have arisen due to a food market in Wuhan that sells various types of live and dead animals (Nuraini, 2020) This virus has spread throughout the world, including Indonesia since the beginning of March 2020. The Indonesian government immediately followed up on the case. One of the government's actions is to carry out Social Distancing for 14 days to minimize the spread of the virus. According to the Center for Disease (CDC) in (Kosasih, 2020) Social Distancing is staying away from gatherings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance between people. Social distancing/social distancing is carried out to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 from spreading widely in Indonesia. Social Distancing is very influential to inhibit the spread of COVID-19. The impact of the COVID-19 has caused the economy in Indonesia to decline, dropping the rupiah exchange rate, rising prices for goods, especially medical devices. This also has an impact on the education system in Indonesia. The result of the decision of the minister of education that all learning activities both in schools and universities are carried out in their respective homes through the available applications. The Minister of Education issued Circular Number 3 of 2O2O concerning the Prevention of Corona Virus Disease (COVIDl9) in the Education Unit which states that it is closing schools and universities.
