Abstract

In November 2019, the Chinese authorities found the Covid-19 epidemic in Wuhan Province, China. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV2). This sickness is spreading at a breakneck speed. As a result, health experts advise social isolation, physical isolation, and working from home. COVID-19 is having an effect on students as well. Traditional lecture activities that could not be carried out due to societal constraints were replaced by online lectures. One of the prevention standards implemented by the government is social distancing. Online learning activities are very flexible because they can be accessed without being hindered by time and place. In addition, online learning provides flexibility for lecturers to access their students to get references to other learning materials. This method is useful for improving the quality of learning (Pardede, 2011). But if there are good things, there are also bad things that can happen in implementing online learning. Often found many obstacles or discrepancies in learning. One of the challenges experienced in distance education is the lack of equipment, personnel, resources, limited educational technology, and the lack of skills and quality of lecturers. Based on the background above, it can be seen that motivation is very important for students in completing their studies. The NASA-TLX approach can be utilized to quantify mental workload in this study. The NASA-TLX approach includes six indicators: mental and physical needs, time constraints, work performance, frustration levels, and physical and mental effort. There are 24 percent of indicators of frustration level among Engineering Faculty students at Andalas University, 18 percent for effort indicators, 17 percent for mental and performance needs, 16 percent for time needs, and 6 percent for indicators of physical needs. While the hypothesis analysis test tool used is the SmartPLS application with the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) analysis method, the results of the analysis using this study show that online learning as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has a positive and significant impact on the motivation of Andalas University Engineering Faculty students.
