ABSTRACT
This study focused on the learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic in Timor. The research used a qualitative method and purposive sampling to select subjects such as teachers, students, and parents. We collected the data through interviews and observations. We analyzed the data using the Creswell method. The results of the study showed three dilemmas of the learning process in Timor Island, namely, (1) most parents found difficulty in teaching their children at home because they did not have the ability in science. As a result, many parents in Timor cannot teach their children at home. (2) Learning by social distancing with the teachers requires technology and an internet connection, while most Timorese have a low economic income, and they have difficulty in accessing an internet connection. (3) Door-to-door learning is very effective for students, but the teachers are exhausted because there are many students who should be visited.
