Abstract

This study explores how digital media enhances geography learning in Indonesian high schools, specifically focusing on SMA Swasta Budi Agung Medan. In the context of global advancements in educational technology, the integration of digital media in geography education has become increasingly relevant, particularly given the subject’s emphasis on spatial and visual understanding. This research aims to examine the role of digital media in supporting geography learning and to identify the challenges teachers face during its implementation. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving interviews with teachers, students, and school administrators at SMA Budi Agung Medan. The findings reveal that digital tools such as Quizizz, Wordwall, and Google Earth are actively used and have increased student motivation, engagement, and comprehension of complex geographical concepts. However, several challenges were identified, including limited access to digital devices among students, insufficient teacher readiness to integrate technology effectively, and difficulties maintaining classroom discipline during interactive sessions. The study concludes that while digital media significantly enriches geography learning, its success depends on improving infrastructure, providing continuous professional development for teachers, and adopting effective classroom management strategies. These findings offer valuable implications for policy development, teacher training programs, and curriculum planning to optimize the integration of digital media in geography education.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) with the theme of Sustainable Lifestyle at SMAS Budisatrya Medan. Rising waste accumulation and declining ecological awareness among students underscore the need for educational intervention. The research specifically aims to describe how P5 is carried out and how students, teachers, and the school perceive its impact. Using a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, the study engaged students, teachers, and the principal as participants. The findings show that students actively participated in waste sorting, recycling, and reforestation, which nurtured ecological awareness and values of discipline, responsibility, and cooperation. Teachers highlighted that P5 was more effective than conventional classroom learning because it provided direct experiential engagement, although limited facilities, time constraints, and uneven motivation were noted as challenges. The principal emphasised that P5 aligned with the school’s vision of fostering environmentally responsible characters but required family and community reinforcement. In conclusion, this study proves that P5 enhances ecological awareness and strengthens character formation through experiential learning, with sustainability hinging on wider stakeholder involvement.
