<![CDATA[The use of technology-based learning media, particularly instructional videos, has increasingly been implemented in elementary schools to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process. This study aims to examine the use of instructional videos as learning media in elementary schools, focusing on their strengths and weaknesses in the learning process. This research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive qualitative design. The research participants consisted of elementary school teachers and students who had experience using instructional videos in classroom learning. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that instructional videos have several advantages, such as increasing students’ learning motivation and interest, facilitating the understanding of abstract concepts, and creating a more engaging and contextual learning atmosphere. However, the study also identifies several limitations, including inadequate technological facilities, dependence on the quality and relevance of video content, and the risk of passive learning if videos are not integrated with appropriate teaching strategies. Therefore, it can be concluded that instructional videos can be an effective learning medium when they are well-planned and supported by the active role of teachers as learning facilitators.]]>
