Chalenges for Employee Class Students in Aquatics Learning in Terms of Time Management

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the challenges faced by employee-level students in aquatics lectures from a time management perspective. Time management here is defined as the decision-making process to organize and adjust time according to changing needs. Employee-level students face challenges in dividing their time between work, study, and practical activities that require physical presence. The method used is descriptive quantitative with a questionnaire covering four aspects: time management, time protection, time adaptation, and time use effectiveness. The sample consisted of 40 students who contracted the Aquatics Learning course. The results showed that students' time management skills were in the fairly good category, with an average score of 2.95 on a scale of 1 to 4. The aspects of time management and effectiveness received high scores, while time protection was an area that needed improvement. These findings indicate that although students have basic skills in time management, additional strategies are needed to improve consistency and focus in practical learning.
