Teacher MIN's Perception of IT-Based Learning Innovation for Improving Achievement

Abstract

This study aims to understand the perceptions of teachers at State Islamic Elementary School in Tanggamus Regency regarding educational innovation as a tool to enhance learning outcomes and prevent students from becoming easily bored or disinterested. The study specifically focuses on identifying new teachers' perspectives on implementing both conventional and IT-based learning innovations to ensure that learning remains engaging and yields optimal results. The research employs a quantitative design through surveys. Data were collected from undergraduate and postgraduate teachers working as instructors. A survey questionnaire served as the primary data collection instrument. Data analysis was conducted using tables, diagrams, and observations. The survey results indicate that most teachers have implemented learning innovations, whether conventional or IT-based. Some teachers at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah have also adopted Internet-based learning innovations. The findings show that most teachers continuously seek out and read about media innovation in education, recognizing its importance. However, not all teachers consistently use technology-based media such as quizzes, comics, or other media in their daily activities, and some are unaware of engaging learning media like Quizizz, Wordwall, or Kahoot. Some teachers identified inadequate facilities as a significant challenge. Despite this, learning media innovations can significantly enhance the learning process, improve retention, and balance different learning styles among students.
