Pendampingan Optimalisasi Pembelajaran melalui Pemanfaatan Media Interaktif dan Strategi Pembelajaran Aktif di Lembaga Pendidikan

Abstract

This community service program aimed to optimize the learning process at MA Sabilal Muhtadin through the integration of interactive learning media, accessible educational technology, and active learning strategies. The program addressed teachers’ limited use of technology, limited variation in instructional methods, and students’ relatively low participation during classroom activities. The program was implemented through five stages: initial observation, program socialization, interactive media training, practice-based mentoring, and evaluation. The results indicated changes in teachers’ use of learning media, including the adoption of interactive presentations, educational videos, and simple visual media. Teachers also demonstrated improved ability to integrate media with discussion, collaboration, educational games, and presentations. These changes were accompanied by greater student participation and more conducive classroom interactions. The findings suggest that learning transformation was not primarily determined by the sophistication of technology, but by teachers’ capacity to integrate available resources with appropriate pedagogical strategies. The program therefore highlights the importance of practice-based and contextual mentoring for strengthening teachers’ digital-pedagogical capacity, particularly in educational institutions with limited infrastructure.
