Abstract

The era after the global pandemic commences a new learning culture in Indonesia, where every educational activity is conducted in fully remote learning. Numerous inventions and development researches have been attempted to survive this catastrophe with at least obstacles as possible to the educational activity. However, the educational field started to receive new news as the pandemic keeps going. As the school closures have been instructed for a sufficiently long period, millions of students have been deprived of accessible learning. The self-directed way of education cannot reach or successfully cover all students' learning needs. It is found in the Borneo University of Tarakan that the number of absenteeism increased in the past year and the number of dropouts. The drop in students' achievement and participation indicates the learning loss effects on their academic performance. Based on the phenomenon observed, it is crucial to investigate the impact of learning loss on students' academic performance during the online learning process at Borneo University of Tarakan. This study highlighted some implications including the major factors on learning loss that affects the student academic performance and the students’ perception about the causes of learning loss in academic performance.
