Abstract

The digital era requires teachers to optimize the use of technology in order to improve quality and effective learning performance. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The research location was carried out at two high schools in North Lampung Regency, namely SMAN 1 Abung Barat and SMAN 1 Tanjung Raja. The results of the research show that the use of digital media has been proven to improve teacher learning performance in both schools, where teachers have been able to use various digital media proficiently and proficiently. YouTube, WhatsApp, and Kahoot, with supporting factors in the form of adequate infrastructure and support from school leadership, but faces the obstacles of teachers' technical limitations in complex applications. SMAN 1 Tanjung Raja shows a more developed level of sophistication with the adoption of Google Classroom, Google Forms, and Canva, but faces problems with unstable internet networks. This research concludes that the use of digital media is proven to be able to improve teacher learning performance through the integration of technology in learning, although the approaches and challenges are different in each school. Research suggestions include the continued development of teacher digital competence, improving school technology infrastructure, and developing research with a broader scope for better generalization.
