This study aims to understand the perception of teachers and students of grade IV of SDN 13/I Muara Bulian towards the use of technology-based learning media in elementary schools. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with research subjects consisting of grade IV teachers and students who are directly involved in technology-based learning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using Miles and Huberman's steps, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that both teachers and students have a positive perception of the use of technology-based learning media. Teachers assess that technology can improve student understanding, create engaging learning, and motivate students to learn. Meanwhile, students feel that technology-based media makes learning more fun, easy to understand, and encourages learning independence. However, several challenges have arisen, such as limited facilities, device access, and technical skills that still need to be improved. With support from schools and further training, technology has the potential to significantly improve the quality of learning. This research provides important insights for the development of technology-based learning in elementary schools.
