Book Chapter New Normal: Idealism and Implementation in Indonesia and the Philippines

Abstract

Praise God for His grace, and we are still given health so can finish the Book Chapter New Normal: Idealism and Implementation in Indonesia and the Philippines. Whether we realize it or not, the Covid-19 pandemic has changed various life settings, and people must adapt to different adaptation patterns to survive during a world pandemic. One sector of life that is improving the pandemic is the education sector. Policies for work, study, and worship at home, automatically change learning activities carried out at school into "at home" learning patterns. Learning that starts centered at school shifts to learning at the learning house with fairly dominant school interventions. Professional learning also challenges resource or bold services, with a very diverse school and family readiness level.

This book is a historical record because it is the authors of two countries, Indonesia and the Philippines. This book provides an overview of the journey of various perspectives of community activities in undergoing new normal. The education perspective is mostly reviewed because learning services with diverse resources in each school and region have experienced significant changes. As Indonesia and the Philippines are archipelagic countries with uneven levels of development and regional development, innovation in learning services during the new normal period will also vary, adjusting to the conditions of schools and the carrying capacity of their respective environments.

The gathering of writings on New Normal: Idealism and Implementation in Indonesia and the Philippines is expected to provide benefits to understand the dynamics of learning that is happening. The community can appropriately adapt as a form of response to various issues that occur. More than that, this paper's gathering shows that the synergy and collaboration of academics in Indonesia and the Philippines are going well so that they hope to realize a better ASEAN region becomes a necessity amid various issues that are dividing national unity and unity.

To all those who have given attention, assistance, and input expressed their highest gratitude and appreciation. Hopefully, this book will benefit all readers.
