DEVELOPMENT OF INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING MEDIA IN THE INDEPENDENT CURRICULUM

Abstract

Technological developments have had a positive impact on the world of education. One significant advance is the development of interactive learning media. Interactive learning media with the help of technology aims to present educational content that arouses students' interest. With the help of attractive images, videos, animations and sounds, the lesson material becomes more fun and easier to understand. Participants in this service activity were workshop representatives of teachers in Padang City. This service activity was carried out based on information that the majority of teachers at SMPN 34 Padang in Padang City had not used a variety of learning media and did not know in depth about the use of social media in learning Indonesian in the pandemic era. With this service, it is hoped that it will provide alternatives and convenience so that teachers use social media more in learning Indonesian and students feel motivated and enthusiastic in following the lessons provided. The implementation stages are as follows; 1) One first meeting determines the material regarding the news text. 2) The next meeting provides learning media on several themes which are expected to shape character and change behavior. Learning media will be packaged in audio-visual form. 3) Preparation of news text audio-visual learning media adapted to several themes that have been provided. The learning media provided can help students practice writing news texts. 4) Teachers can use audio-visual learning media that has been designed in such a way and is accompanied by learning instructions, especially for text writing material. The final results of the activity show that through the training carried out the teachers' competence increased in using social media in learning Indonesian. Teachers who take part in the Workshop in Padang City can use social media in learning, both Facebook, TikTok and other social media, so that students do not get bored while learning in the pandemic era.
