The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed learning that is usually conducted by direct learning into indirect learning, especially distance learning. During the Covid-19 pandemic, schools in Indonesia adjusted the learning to distance learning. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of distance practice learning and to find out what factors affect distance learning conducted in vocational high schools for facing the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This research was conducted by a mixed-method using the pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design and in-depth interviews to dig the factors that influence the phenomenon. This research was conducted by involving 53 students and 4 teachers in Yogyakarta. Test data were analyzed by using the N-Gain Test, and interview data were analyzed using the Miles & Huberman Model. The results of this study indicate that students who use distance practice learning that is packaged with collaborative learning get better cognitive results than direct practice learning, but students' affective and psychomotor assessment of distance practice learning gets a lower score than direct practice learning, meanwhile, the score is a good category. The phenomenon occurs due to the students' good understanding of utilizing information technology contained on the internet, and the good communication between students and teachers in completing practical assignments. © 2021 Little Lion Scientific.
