Abstract: The education and culture regulations regarding national higher education standards governing how the

curriculum concept to support learning is carried out is very different from the previous regulations. The

concept of an independent campus and independent learning is part of students' rights to get three semesters

of learning outside campus. To answer the concept of an independent campus, universities must

immediately prepare a curriculum so that it is adaptive and responds to changes. From the curriculum,

students must also have good motivation and time management in participating in learning. The problem in

this research is that learning motivation and time management have not been fully used in the learning

process when viewed from the concept of collaborative knowledge creation. The purpose in this research

was to analyze student how to learn motivation, and time management applied to learning in the Covid-19

era, and whether the concept of collaborative knowledge creation was used to support the learning process.

The research method used is mixed methode with data collection techniques using a questionnaire.

Respondents in this study were 100 students of Politeknik Negeri Jakarta with samples obtained using

purposive random sampling. The results showed that student learning motivation during the Covid-19 era

provided high learning outcomes. time management helps in completing course assignments, more

regularly, the atmosphere of learning becomes fun. Another result is that personal characteristics and

individual learning styles are important in the application of time management. is to get good grades and

pass on time. Collaborative knowledge creation concept used in learning process and produce quality of

learning more easy and fun in higher education.

1 INTRODUCTION

Learning motivation and time management in the

current digital transformation era has an impact on

the learning process of the student that must be

prepared and obeyed. During the covid-19 era, the

learning process used distance learning, and this

situation has changes and different with the learning

process as usual. The transformation in learning

process has an impact not only for the teacher but

also for the student itself in optimizing learning

motivation as well as efficient and effective time

management. The learning process carried out by e-

learning currently demands an effective and efficient

use of time more meaningful. In higher education

learning activities carried out online require material

preparation and learning strategies that are

appropriate and still attractive to students.

Polytechnic as vocational education facing online

learning has resulted in changes in learning methods

and strategies that must be easily accessed by

students wherever they live. The problem that arises

in the conditions of online learning for polytechnics

is that student learning motivation must remain high

and time management is still used to support quality

learning processes. Another problem that arises in

that when the student do not have a schedule to carry

out a work activity, your time is not used optimally

and does not provide a use value so that time

become unproductive. The purpose of this study was

to analyse learning and motivation of the student

during Covid-19? Does time management help make

the learning process easier? How collaborative

knowledge creation be used to support learning

motivation and implementation of time management

in learning process? To answer the problems and

objectives of this study, research was conducted on

students from polytechnics. Based on Legault and

Pelletier (2006) the influence of motivation level in

learning such as the ability to believe in the effort

how the student can learn, the unawareness of the

worth and characteristic of the academic taks using

in school. Refer to Eilan and Sharon (2003) and

Peeter and Rute (2005) describes that time

management used in the learning process will have

an impact on effective results. Time management

implemented in learning process for monitoring and

evaluation, setting goals and utilizing time that gives

positive results. Jackson (2009) have an argue that

the basic of time management have the set realistic

goals for learning, organized, delegate, relax and

recharge, and also can stop feeling guilty. Compare

with Adams and Blair (2019); Konig & Kleinmann

(2010) time management is an effort to optimized

opportunites through skills and knowledge to carry

out activities in an organization, including learning

that provides useful values and results. However in

education, based on Sahito, Zaifarullah and

Vaisanen (2017) the role of teachers, leaders of

academic institutions and human resources it to

provide opportunites for teacher how to improve

their knowledge and skill of time management make

learning process more satisfaction, have a good

motivation, professionalism increases and also more

meaningful. Covey (2004) described that personal

success in learning as a process to organized and

execute around and priorities. In workplace, based

on Rombe (2016) time management describe about

how to self management,and also oneself to better

manage time consuming activities. The stages in

collaborative knowledge creation based on Du

Chaternier, et., al., (2009) can be implemented in

learning process with using externalizing and

sharing, interpreting and analysing, negotiating and

revising, and combining and creating in

organization.

2 METHODOLOGY

Mixed methods used in this research, such as

quantitative and descriptive qualitative (Cresswell,

2017) where qualitative methods are used to

describe the results of the questionnaire received and

quantitative methods are used do determine the

sample of respondent. The data collection techniques

used a questionnaire consist of two dimension such

as learning motivation and time management with

collaborative knowledge creation concept and

distribute questionnaire with used google form. The

questions in questionnaire in this research used

Likert scale with contains statement strongly agree,

agree, not agree, strongly not agree. The respondent

in this research are student of Politeknik Negeri

Jakarta , and selections of responden using non

probability sampling and determine the sample

according to Slovin formula:

𝑛

𝑁



1𝑁𝑒





Explanation of the formula above: N is the number

of samples and N is the total number of

combinations which E is the sampling error.

Referring to the Slovin formula, the following

calculations are obtained:

𝑛

..

 ..  ,

From the formula above, for the benefit of this

research can be describe that the maximum sample

of size is 10%, its means that 99 people rounded up

to 100 people become of sample.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This research analyse how collaborative knowledge

creation can be used to support learning motivation

and time management in learning process. This

results describe how respondent answered for

strongly agree (SS), agree (S), not agee (TS), and

strongly not agree (STS). There are three question

research, first question how the student’s learning

motivation during covid-19 era? For the first

question student learning motivation in Covid-19 era

has a target of passing for all courses/subject. The

answer is 42% agree with the statement.

The second question research is time management.

The firs question is a person's learning style will

affect learning outcomes from the application of the

concept of time management, and the highest

answer, 59%, agrees with the statement that learning

style will affect in learning process. This statement

same with opinion from Eilan and Sharon (2003),

Peeter and Rute (2005) that time management used

in the learning process in higher education have an

impact on effective results. Figure-3 can see below.

The second question research is time management

help make the learning process more easier? For

answer this question, learning process have for

openness to learn new strategies in learning the

student can affect the success of time management

behaviour an make easy for the student, and the

highest answer is 67% agree with the statement. This

results related with Jackson (2009) and Claessens

et.al., (2007) that time management have the set

realistic goals, become more organized, delegate,

relax and recharge, and also can stop feeling guilty

in learning process. The results can see in figure-4.

The third question research that collaborative

knowledge creation used to support learning

motivation and time management, refer to Rombe

(2016) and Gea (2014) that one of the impact of time

management in workplace, it is a mechanism which

plays a central role in the exercise of personal

agency by its strong impact on thought, concern,

motivation and also actions. In time management,

compare with employees performance and standards

implementation of employee strategy, review work

plan how managers should review the work plans

regularly for getting things off mind, how to decide

on priorities and tasks are done accordingly and

divisions are corrected and recorded for

organization. This condition can be adapt and adopt

especially in polytechnic student how they can used

time management in learning process. Based on

Gopalan et.al., (2017) and Sahito & Vaisanen (2017)

the motivation also as describes how human

beeing’s can make the inspiration and achievement

in organization. From that point, collaborative

knowledge creation implemented for externalizing

and sharing when learning process and motivation

provided added value, interpreting and analysing

when the student have a problem in learning process,

negotiating and revising, and combining and

creating as a form of learning motivation. The

limitation in this research is not examining the

factors that cause time management to be ineffective

and efficient, including determining the priority

scale in carrying out learning activities in

polytechnic.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Learning motivation during the Covid-19 period was

important in producing quality learning concepts.

Motivation does not only come from intrinsic but

also extrinsic which also affects learning patterns.

Meanwhile, time management has made the student

in learning process easier, has a pleasant learning

atmosphere, and does not cause stress. The concept

of collaborative knowledge creation used in learning

process and produce quality of learning more easy

and fun in higher education.
