PERAN MEDIA DIGITAL BAGI GURU DALAM MEMBANGUN KOMUNIKASI

Abstract

Digital media is very important in the development of communication between teachers and students in the learning process. This study aims to investigate how teachers use digital media as a communication medium during learning, as well as how the impacts, challenges, and obstacles in it. Researchers use a qualitative approach by using a literature review that focuses on systematic literature investigation. The results show that teachers can use digital media in the learning process, build students' communication skills, and teachers can maintain positive relationships with students. Digital media has a positive impact on a teacher's learning communication, namely providing accessibility, increasing student engagement, and being able to provide teaching resources quickly. However, this also has negative impacts such as the emergence of addiction to the use of digital devices, online security risks, and the limited number of students who can access digital media. The challenges and obstacles obtained by teachers start from the need for teachers to adapt to technology, must provide quality teaching materials, and require additional efforts to meet student engagement so that students do not just become passive spectators.
