Abstract

Since the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) was announced as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), The Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemdikbud) decided to close and temporarily stop the whole process of teaching and learning activities in all educational institutions and to inform students learn at home by virtual classroom. Ready or not, the learning process that is usually face-to-face learning, now become an online learning process. Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was a normal situation, whereas face-to-face learning in the classroom becomes an abnormal situation. Not a few teachers and students were surprised by the changes in the learning process during COVID-19. Although in the field of education, online learning should not be something new in the process of teaching and learning activities, but not a few also from them, who have just learned about online learning and apply it in the process of daily teaching and learning activities. The New Normal life of education also requires us to change habits, including in the learning process. However, in the current conditions, we must also consider conventional learning models. Combine online learning with conventional learning or commonly called Blended Learning is the right learning model to be applied in the new normal learning process in education, so students can still learn in the classroom by face to face and combine it with online learning as a compliment. The face-to-face learning process is also very important in the current digital era so that teachers can guide and improve the 4Cs abilities that students have in the 21st century, namely critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration. Therefore, Blended Learning and 4Cs need to be applied in the new normal life of education, so that young people can compete and grow in the global competition, not out of date, and able to prepare themselves in facing challenges for the next decade.
