Analysis The Effect of Teaching Sources & Media on The Learning Effectiveness of Grade I Students at Karangsari 2 Elementary School, Blitar City

Abstract

In today's educational landscape, teachers are expected to creatively utilize learning resources, media, and technology to create engaging and effective learning experiences—especially at the elementary level. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of learning resources, media, and technology used in Grade I at Karangsari 2 Elementary School. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through observations and interviews with teachers and classroom activities. Findings reveal that teachers use a variety of resources, including teaching modules, textbooks, PowerPoint, educational videos, and student worksheets (LKPD). Students responded positively to these media, as shown by their increased engagement and enthusiasm in learning. Nevertheless, some challenges arose, such as time management in non-digital media usage and students’ limited ability to use digital tools. Teachers addressed these challenges through self-directed learning and the incorporation of real-world experiences in teaching. This study highlights that the effective integration of diverse learning tools, aligned with student characteristics, significantly enhances the learning process. The study recommends ongoing professional development to support teachers’ creativity and media use for meaningful classroom learning.
