The method uses a “pre-test post-test control group design" experiment. The sampling technique is simple random sampling, totaling 33 students in the experimental class with the inquiry learning method treatment and 34 students in the control class. The instrument used is an essay test. Data analysis used a t-test with a significance level of 5%. The study results: (1) There is a significant effect of the online inquiry learning method on increasing the knowledge of basic soccer techniques for class XI students, the t value is 12.158 > t table is 1.693, and the significance is 0.000 <0.05. (2) There is a significant difference in the knowledge of basic football techniques of class XI students between the experimental group and the control group; the t-count value is 9.617 > t-table 1.668, and the significance is 0.000 <0.05.

The rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the education sector, where students are unable to continue their learning activities at school (Jena, 2020); (Wahyuni et al., 2021); (Akat & Karataş, 2020). The impact on education sustainability caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, so that learning is carried out online (Alsoufi et al., 2020); (Mbiydzenyuy, 2020). Online learning makes students communicate through device intermediaries, reducing interaction between one individual and another in communicating (Esra & Sevilen, 2021). The absence of this interaction, coupled with the limitation of physical meetings, makes students bored and is felt by many families in Indonesia, both in cities and in villages (Simamora, 2020). In Indonesia, many families are less familiar with doing school at home. The new policy makes teachers think about applying appropriate learning patterns and can be applied in distance learning. Network-based or online learning is expected to be the right solution (Rachmadtullah et al., 2020). The use of online learning in various countries is increasing from year to year. This phenomenon is related to the rapid development of internet technology that integrates various devices used by humans (Aljawarneh, 2020); (Adarkwah, 2021). Most people in remote areas are confused because the information technology infrastructure is limited. The assessment of students who use online media encounters many obstacles in the community. Many community groups in Indonesia will be exposed to the long-term effects of Covid-19. The impact of education from a long-term perspective is the aspect of justice and increasing inequality between community groups and between regions. Learning during a pandemic is very different from learning carried out before the pandemic, in learning before the pandemic was carried out with educators being able to meet face to face with students at school. Online learning is carried out, namely, educators and students cannot meet face-to-face because there is a distance that separates educators from students (Kusmaryono et al., 2021); (Rizaldi & Fatimah, 2020). This allows educators and students to be in different places through the internet network. Positively, online learning is beneficial for the continuity of learning during the pandemic (Wang et al., 2021); (Rasiah et al., 2020). In practice, online learning aims to meet educational standards by utilizing information technology by using computer devices or gadgets that are interconnected with students and teachers and students (Kassab et al., 2020); (Hoq, 2020); (Ritonga et al., 2021).
