SOSIALISASI PERAN MEDIA KOMUNIKASI DALAM PROSES PEMBELAJARAN DI ERA DIGITAL BAGI SEKOLAH SWASTA

Abstract

Technological developments have influenced all aspects of human life in all fields, including education. One of the things that plays a very important role in the learning process is digital communication media. Teacher councils can utilize digital communication media to create interesting learning materials in line with current developments. Apart from making it easier to communicate with every student in the school, it can also be a tool to help teachers in preparing Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) material, as a reference or making presentations of material that attracts students' interest in the learning process. This can also increase teachers' and students' understanding of the positive use of communication media, especially in learning activities. However, unlike state schools or private schools in advanced urban areas, private schools in villages or remote areas are not yet fully able to compete in the field of technology, especially communication media, due to the lack of technological media facilities and adequate internet networks to access information and create material through media. digital media at school or when practicing using digital media in class, apart from that, limited teacher resources in the field of technology also become obstacles in utilizing digital technology media. Thus, it is very important to carry out outreach and education regarding the role of digital communication media in the learning process for teachers at Malem Diwa Cot Bada Private Middle School, which is one of the private schools in the interior of North Aceh. Apart from that, we can also invite the government or all parties to play a role in increasing teachers' capacity for digital technology on a regular basis for the advancement of the world of education, especially in rural areas. This socialization activity was carried out independently and in collaboration between lecturers from Esa Unggul University, Jakarta and lecturers from STAI Ar-Ridho Bagansiapiapi. Outreach activities include location surveys, direct outreach and education as well as evaluation at the Malem Diwa Cot Bada Tanggaan Private Middle School, North Aceh.
