TRAINING ON DEVELOPING DIGITAL LEARNING MEDIA IN MATHEMATICS MGMP AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL

The Merdeka Curriculum promotes independent learning and the development of 21st-century skills, including digital technology adaptation. However, many teachers, especially in Lhokseumawe, need help integrating digital tools into their teaching. According to the Chairman of the Lhokseumawe City Junior High School Mathematics MGMP, most mathematics teachers face significant challenges in utilizing digital technology for daily lessons. To address this, a two-day training on creating digital learning media was organized for junior high school mathematics teachers in Lhokseumawe. Canva, an application for designing interactive media like PowerPoint, was introduced. On the first day, participants received training materials. In contrast, on the second day, they were focused on hands-on practice, allowing teachers to develop digital media tailored to their students' needs and grade levels. After the training, it was reported that teachers' skills in creating digital media improved, and they were motivated to explore more digital learning tools.
