Abstract

In order to achieve quality learning in accordance with the aspirations and the fourth goal of SDGs, teachers need to create learning that is complete and in accordance with the needs of students. This complete and appropriate learning can be demonstrated by the teaching modules used by the teacher. In fact, teachers still encounter problems in compiling teaching modules that suit the needs of students in the current era of digital technology. This obstacle is also experienced by high school English teachers in Sidoarjo. One of the challenges is the lack of innovation in using and implementing information and technology-based English learning media. Therefore, with this community service, the authors aim to increase the high school English teachers' innovation through training on teaching module development with EdPuzzle integration. The success of this program was measured from a questionnaire filled out by the teachers. As a result, teachers who previously did not know what EdPuzzle was were finally able to create and implement it in class. They argue that digital media such as EdPuzzle is very useful for teaching and learning English. Thus, this community service has been carried out properly and succeeded in achieving the planned goals.

Abstract

Traditional approaches often fail to motivate students and cater to diverse learning styles, further compounded by the limited use of modern educational technologies. A community service program was implemented to address these issues, focusing on contemporary teaching models like the Happy Learning approach and the integration of whiteboard animation. This program explores the challenges high school English teachers face in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, concerning student engagement and effective teaching methods. Over one month, 47 high school English teachers participated in workshops and mentoring sessions designed to enhance their skills in these innovative methods. The results showed notable improvements in teachers' confidence and their ability to manage interactive classes. A significant majority found the contemporary models, including Happy Learning and whiteboard animation, to be effective, although some teachers still preferred traditional methods. Whiteboard animation was recognized for its role in clarifying content and engaging students, with many teachers successfully creating their media using various applications. Additionally, teachers preferred integrating game-based learning with whiteboard animation, indicating a shift towards more dynamic and student-centered teaching practices. This program underscores the effectiveness of combining modern teaching models with technology to improve educational outcomes and teacher effectiveness.
