Abstract

In the Covid-19 pandemic situation, face-to-face learning had to be eliminated and replaced with online learning. To support this online learning, Andalas University encourages the use of the Learning Management System (LMS), which was adopted from the Modular. This paper discusses blended learning for public service courses in the Department of Public Administration. Public Service courses are compulsory subjects for 6th-semester students. The purpose of this course is to make students understand the various forms of public service that exist in the public sector so that they are expected to provide new knowledge for students and can be an inspiration as one of the topics in completing assignments—their end. In the implementation of this blended learning lecture, there are still several problems, including understanding the material presented by the student lecturers who do not yet have a level of understanding that can fully be said to understand. Because according to students’ opinion, with this blended learning lecture, the level of comprehension was still low, even though some students understood it. Besides that, another problem that also needs attention is the problem of the network, where some students question the internet network, which sometimes has some problem, so the learning process becomes disrupted. The positive impact is that students feel this learning is a learning innovation during the pandemic, but students do not feel comfortable with the existing learning method. Thus, the teaching team felt the need to develop different learning methods with other methods, for example, lectures using WAG media. The results of this study are the existence of a new Semester Learning Design (RPS) by incorporating the blended learning method for each meeting for one semester.
