Abstract

Interactive and innovative learning media are essential in learning to achieve high learning outcomes. Mentimeter is a web-based presentation platform and application designed to create interactive presentations in real-time. This tool allows users to create polls, quizzes, word clouds, and question and answer sessions to increase student engagement in the classroom. This study aims to describe: 1) the results of the pre-test on the ability to understand news texts; 2) the results of the post-test on the ability to understand news texts; 3) the effect of Mentimeter media on learning the ability to understand news texts. The research method used is a quantitative method through a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. This study took place in the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year at SMA Negeri 1 Tanjung Morawa. The population of this study was 32 grade XI students who took the pre-test, learning to understand news texts using Mentimeter media, and took the post-test. The sample was determined at 30 based on a statistical formula; selected by simple random selection without replacement. Data on the ability to understand news texts were collected using a test instrument compiled based on objective indicators to produce test specifications for the ability to understand news texts as a basis for compiling test items. The data were analyzed using a one-sample t-test to achieve the first and second objectives. A paired sample t-test was used to determine the third learning objective. The use of the t-test can be justified because the homogeneity and normality tests were met. The results of the study: 1) the pre-test results of the ability to understand low-category news texts; 2) the post-test results of the ability to understand high-category news texts; 3) the mentimeter media had a significant effect on learning the ability to understand news texts.

Abstract

The Community Service Program (PkM) highlighted the limited understanding of the impact of daily habits—such as improper waste disposal—underscoring the need for educational media that is simple, appealing, and easily accessible. This program aimed to: (1) improve environmental literacy through visual educational media, (2) encourage environmentally friendly behavior among students and school members, and (3) develop educational signboards as an innovative model of environmental learning media.The implementation included site surveys, administrative preparation, media production, socialization activities, communal clean-up, installation of educational signboards, and final report preparation. The results showed that the signboards effectively increased students’ understanding of the harmful effects of non-degradable waste and the importance of proper environmental management. Supporting activities such as the Learning House (RuBel), communal work, and administrative assistance also contributed positively to the school environment. Overall, the program successfully achieved its objectives and provided a tangible contribution to improving environmental literacy and eco-friendly behavior. It is hoped that this PkM initiative can be sustained and serve as a model for environmental education in other schools.
