Abstract


Online lectures are an option in an effort to stop the spread of Covid-19. This situation triggers stress that many parties experience, including students. After 1.5 years of online lessons, there are changes in student behaviour and way of thinking in terms of psychological well-being. This study aims to provide an overview of the psychological well-being of students in the marginal area in Indonesia  during the Online Course. The research methodology used is qualitative using the photovoice method as part of community-based participatory research (CBPR). The research subjects consisted of 6 people as part of a student community in Nabire, Papua. The process of data capture by way of taking camera footage to specific scenes relevant to the research topic, reflecting personal and community strengths, building critical dialogue, sharing knowledge and experiences related to personal and communal issues. Data analysis uses thematic analysis through photos and narratives as data. Research shows that online learning in Indonesia has a variety of good and bad effects. The condition that was initially poorly perceived and was quite a stressor, is now overcome. Facility problems, signals, which are challenges in the marginal area still exist but can be managed. Psychological well-being is just seen by making this condition an opportunity to do many things at once. Students can work, have hobbies, spend time with family without having to leave class. The ability to be independent in the midst of freedom becomes a challenge to be able to complete online lectures.
