Application of Learning Applications in Indonesian Language Learning Class VII in junior high school

Abstract

This research aims to explore the application of learning applications in Indonesian language learning in class VII at the junior high school level. A case study approach was used to gain an in-depth understanding of teacher perceptions regarding the use of learning applications. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with teachers, classroom observations, and documentation studies of teaching materials. The research results show that teachers have positive perceptions of the use of learning applications, recognizing the convenience and increased interactivity they offer. This application helps teachers convey material in a more interesting and effective way. Students also reported increased interest and motivation in learning, as well as ease in understanding the material through the interactive and visual features provided by the application. However, several challenges were identified, including unstable internet connection issues and limited device access for students. Teachers also feel the need to receive further training to optimize the use of applications. Overall, this research concludes that the application of learning applications has a positive impact on the effectiveness of Indonesian language learning in class VII at the junior high school level.
