Based Leaening Media Development In Junior High School

Abstract

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, numerous technology-based learning tools have been developed, including the availability of Virtual Field Trips (VFT) at various museums and organisations. This is an innovation in scientific education that is expected to improve students' cognitive and emotive capacities. The purpose of this study is to assess the need for VFT-based learning media in scientific instruction at the Junior High School level. The study takes a qualitative approach, gathering both quantitative and qualitative data using questionnaire surveys. The respondents, 33 Junior High School teachers from diverse regions in Indonesia, are already experienced with using electronic devices and internet access to enhance technology-based learning in their scientific lessons. Furthermore, Junior High School teachers are used to using technology-based learning resources into scientific instruction. However, as an innovative method to teaching, there is a need to develop technology-based learning media, notably Virtual Field Trips (VFT), in science education at the Junior High School level. As a result, more research into the development of VFT-based learning media in science teaching at the Junior High School level is required
