Abstract

Learning media is a form of technology that can be used as an intermediary to convey learning messages so that they can stimulate students' thoughts, feelings, attention, and interests. However, in practice, learning media is still not maximized in its function so that it does not clarify the presentation of the material, overcome the limitations of space and time, and increase the effectiveness of learning. This study aims to describe and analyze the role of the use of learning media in fostering student learning independence. The researcher uses a case study approach. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the use of visual, audiovisual, and information technology-based media contributes positively to increasing student initiative, responsibility, and activeness in learning. Learning media has been proven to help students understand the material independently and reduce dependence on teachers. The conclusion of the study is that the use of learning media can foster student learning independence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of existentialist values in the educational process at SMP Negeri 8 Purwakarta. Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom, responsibility, authenticity, and the search for meaning in life through conscious choices. In the era of modern education, particularly at the junior secondary school level, these values are highly relevant as students are in a critical phase of identity development. The study employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that existentialist values have emerged in several learning activities, although not yet evenly implemented. Freedom is reflected in the provision of choices in learning methods and the freedom to express opinions. Responsibility is evident in teachers’ emphasis on discipline, classroom agreements, and the consequences of each decision. Authenticity develops through teachers’ appreciation of the uniqueness of students’ opinions. Reflective activities conducted by some teachers help students understand the meaning of lessons in real-life contexts. However, the application of existentialist values has not yet become a comprehensive school culture. Some teachers remain focused on academic achievement and have not fully established spaces for intensive dialogue. Therefore, strengthening teacher capacity, implementing school policies that support reflective learning, and integrating existentialist principles into lesson planning are necessary. This study contributes to the development of a humanistic educational paradigm in Indonesia and serves as a reference for schools seeking to develop learning oriented toward the personal meaning of students.
