Gen Z Students Perception of Ideal Learning in Post-Pandemic: A Phenomenological Study From Indonesia

This study aims to investigate the perceptions of Generation Z students about ideal learning after the pandemic in
Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. There were 30 students from 6 different
campuses in Serang City, Banten, Indonesia, who used a purposive sampling technique as research participants. Data collection was
carried out using semi-structured interviews, which were then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The findings of this
study state that there are four main themes regarding ideal post-pandemic learning, namely: (a) learning that is not monotonous, (b)
equal portions of theory and practice, (c) ideal learning managed by an ideal lecturer, and (d) the need for the application of blended
learning. This research contributes to the current literature on designing ideal learning on campus after the COVID-19 pandemic.
