SOSIALISASI PENGGUNAAN MEDIA SEDERHANA DALAM MENGEMBANGKAN INTELEKTUAL ANAK DALAM BELAJAR DI SMA SWASTA NURUL ILMI PADANGSIDEMPUAN

Abstract

Education is a place for students to gain knowledge. Students need many things to learn and improve their learning outcomes. This is a teacher's task in developing learning media, methods, strategies, and even models in teaching. Learning media plays a very important role in teaching and learning activities. Media is a means or communication tool in learning. Educators should master how to determine learning media, select and/or create media, and utilize them to increase learning effectiveness. There are several obstacles faced by teachers when using media in the learning process. These obstacles include relatively low school budgets for media purchases, schools do not have adequate electricity systems and/or internet connections for the case of schools in remote and isolated areas. Media often does not reach the local substance of the school, is expensive, and there are limitations in terms of the availability and capacity of school laboratory space. To overcome these obstacles, teacher creativity is needed to create learning media, especially simple learning media. This community service activity was carried out at Nurul Ilmi Padangsidempuan Private High School on June 22, 2021. The target to be achieved from the implementation of community service is to develop children's interest in learning and to understand simple media that can be used in learning.
