Application of Learning Media and Technology in Schools to Increase Student Interest in Learning

Abstract

Long before the development of technology, in the world of education the learning media used has not developed rapidly. Educators are required to increase student interest in learning by using modern technology media. Learning media is a technology that carries messages that can be used for learning purposes and is a communication to convey subject matter. Learning technology is utilization, management to facilitate the learning process. The purpose of this study is to determine the application of learning media and technology that can increase student interest in learning, especially in schools. This research uses Quantitative research by conducting online surveys and in-depth interviews with school teachers. The results of this study explain that there are several applications that are used as media for learning, one of which is YouTube. The conclusion of this study explains that there are many technologies or applications that can be utilized to increase student interest in learning. The limitation of this research is that researchers only collect information related to applications that can be utilized to increase student interest in learning, researchers hope that future researchers can develop learning media applications as a tool to help teachers and students in the learning and teaching process

HOTS Critical Thinking and Math Problem-Solving Skills on Wordwall-Assisted Problem-Based Learning Model

“…The emphasis on developing students' scientific, systematic, logical, critical, and creative thinking skills in mathematics education necessitates teachers' ability to create new learning media that may not yet be readily available in schools (Kinasih et al, 2023;Maharani, 2018). Apart from that, to increase students' interest in learning, interesting learning media is needed (Afriansyah & Arwadi, 2021;Puhka et al, 2023).…”

“…Apart from that, learning media can also make it easier for teachers to convey learning information to students. So, it is necessary to implement interesting and interactive knowledge media for students (Afriansyah & Arwadi, 2021;Muhammad et al, 2023;Puhka et al, 2023). A teacher's implementation of media use must be balanced with planning, implementation, and strict supervision so that the resulting quality does not deviate from the teacher's aims and objectives in learning (Krida, 2021;Wani et al, 2023).…”
