The research questions are (i) how do teachers plan history learning during the Pandemic? (ii) How do history teachers develop their learning? And (iii) what are the obstacles faced by history teachers in implementing digital-based learning? This research is a qualitative project with a survey. The research data were collected from eighteen history teachers in Semarang. Participants come from public and private schools, are divided into a balanced quantity of gender and have diverse work experiences. The results showed that learning preparation was adjusted to government recommendations and school policies during the Pandemic, activities were carried out through digital technology.
