Abstract
The background of this research is the impact of covid-19, especially in the education sector, in this case education experiences a learning cycle that changes from the offline method (outside the network) or learning carried out in the classroom to an online method (in a network) or distance learning. far. Distance learning is an alternative that educational institutions need to do to keep the learning process going during the Covid-19 outbreak. One of the media that can be used in the distance learning process is the Google Classroom application. The formulation of the problem in this research are: (1) How is Distance Learning (PJJ) using the Google Classroom application on PAI subjects at SMPN 1 Palimanan?, (2) How is the effectiveness of learning for PAI subject students during the covid-19 pandemic at SMPN 1 Palimanan?, (3) How much influence does the application of Distance Learning (PJJ) in PAI subjects using the Google Classroom application have on the effectiveness of learning for students at SMPN 1 Palimanan?. To obtain the results of this study, researchers used quantitative research methods. The data collection techniques used in this study are: Questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed by performing variable tests and correlation tests. Based on the problems above and after being analyzed, it can be concluded that: (1) In Distance Learning with the Google Classroom Application on PAI Subjects During the Covid-19 Pandemic at SMPN 1 Palimanan, it is included in the good category. Due to the recapitulation of the results of the questionnaire calculation, the results obtained are 85.5%. (2) The effectiveness of student learning at SMPN 1 Palimanan is in the good category because based on the recapitulation of the results of the questionnaire on the effectiveness of learning, the results are 79.7% which indicates a good category. (3) There is a significant and positive relationship between distance learning and the google classroom application on the effectiveness of student learning, because r is positive. This is evidenced by the correlation calculation using the product moment correlation hypothesis test and the correlation coefficient r value is 0.650 which indicates a significant correlation.
