all | Utilization of Photomarh Application as a Learning Media to Increase Students' Learning Motivation on The Material of Linear Equation One Variable INTRODUCTION Education does have a very broad and complex dimension.
On the one hand, education serves to develop individual potential, providing the knowledge and skills needed to face life's challenges.
On the other hand, education also plays a role in shaping societies and communities, building social values and developing collective consciousness.
From a material perspective, education provides access to resources and economic opportunities, while from a spiritual perspective, education shapes individuals' character, ethics and moral values.
Thus, education is not only about the transfer of knowledge, but also about human development as a whole, which will ultimately affect the shape and direction of society itself (Ningsih et al.
, 2.
So education is the most important element in the progress of the country because education covers all the elements that exist in a country.
If in a country the education is low then the possibility of the country will be difficult to develop while if in a country the level of education is high then the country will develop rapidly and will become a developed country.
One of the factors that cause the level of education in a country to be low is due to the lack of educators in remote areas of the country and the limited facilities and infrastructure that exist and that makes people in the country unable to learn new things, education is also very important for human survival because if someone never gets an education then that someone will not be able to survive.
The relationship between Education in schools is not just about knowledge transfer, but also about inculcating values and cultural norms.
Through the learning process, students are not only taught academic subjects, but also reminded of the importance of ethics, social responsibility and mutual respect.
Teachers act as facilitators who help students understand and internalize these In addition, a supportive school environment also provides opportunities for students to interact, collaborate and learn from each other.
Thus, education becomes an important means to shape the character and identity of the younger generation, so that they can become responsible and ethical members of society (Dhani & Cahya, 2.
So education is also inseparable from culture because these two elements are very important for developed countries.
technological sophistication is also utilized to enhance the development of education.
these two elements are closely related because technological sophistication is also inseparable from the high level of education, therefore increasing or high education causes many new discoveries to be made that make technology more sophisticated as well as the progress of an increasingly advanced era.
The development of technology and communication provides ideas or solutions to educators to utilize developing technology to find media or learning methods that can be applied or taught to students which aims to make it easier for students to learn and solve problems related to problems that they find difficult to solve, especially in solving problems related to mathematics learning (Oktaviani et al.
, 2.
Mathematics education is an important part of scientific development and students' mathematical thinking skills.
mathematics learning is also considered difficult for most students in learning it, be it from formulas in mathematics or materials in mathematics learning.
there are even some students because they find it difficult to learn mathematics so they feel bored and lazy to take part in mathematics learning.
Therefore, the academic community responds to the mathematical needs of various reactions to math phobia with real action, competing to offer solutions to make mathematics easier to understand and apply.
(Meldi et al.
, 2.
Mathematics is a science that is not only studied in elementary school or high school but mathematics is also studied up to the college level.
at the college level mathematics is distinguished in a variety of different courses (Hanifah et al.
, 2.
Mathematics is also a universal science that underlies the development of modern technology, which also has an important role in various disciplines and advances human thinking (Dwiranata et al.
, 2.
One topic that is the main focus in mathematics education is algebra.
algebra is a branch of mathematics that involves mathematical symbols and operations to study the relationship between mathematical objects.
However, learning algebra is often considered difficult by some students because the material is abstract and Algebra is material or lessons that are often encountered by students from the junior high school level to the college level, however, students are still often confused in understanding the explanation or how to solve problems in the material, therefore technological developments, namely learning media such as digital applications and learning methods/models can be used as tools to solve problems related to this material.
Improving teaching models in the form of digital applications should be applied by teachers to support learning and success in the teaching and learning process, but in reality not many teachers develop learning models that are developing today.
So the importance of Yayasan Amanah Nur Aman Maria Ulfah et.
all | Utilization of Photomarh Application as a Learning Media to Increase Students' Learning Motivation on The Material of Linear Equation One Variable training on digital media or learning modules to educators who still use old methods in the learning process (Wardani in Handayani & Solihah, 2.
In today's digital era, math apps have become a very valuable resource in mathematics Along with the development of technology, the use of software or applications can be an alternative medium for learning mathematics, especially in the era of globalization.
This helps students increase creativity, develop, and apply science and technology.
With the help of mathematics applications, students can more easily visualize symbols, make tabulations, and complete calculations precisely and accurately (Sibuea.
Sembiring, & Agus, 2.
Learning media has an important role in the process of learning mathematics and serves as a tool that greatly supports the success of mathematics learning.
(Anitra, 2.
states, math lessons are lessons where the material in these lessons is interconnected with each other, and also these lessons are related to various other subjects in elementary school, this is defined that math lessons are not only material that discusses calculations but can also be applied to other subjects.
Math apps provide an interactive learning environment that can help students understand algebraic concepts in a more interesting and effective way.
Mathematics applications can provide interactive visualizations, simulations, and exercises, which can help students build a strong understanding of algebra as well as make students feel excited and not bored to follow the learning.
One application that helps teachers in learning in the form of digital applications is the photomarh This application is a media that can be used as a solution for teachers in learning math.
Because there are still many students who do not understand algebra learning due to the absence of media that they think can make it easier for them to solve problems related to algebra learning.
effective teacher is expected to be able to utilize technological developments to deepen students' understanding, stimulate their interest in learning, and improve their mathematical skills.
technology is utilized optimally, this can provide access that encourages students' enthusiasm and motivation in participating in the mathematics learning process.
From the observations made by the author at Mts Sarji Ar-Rasyid, it can be concluded that the lack of utilization of technology so that the media used as a tool for the mathematics learning process is arguably less interesting for students so that in learning mathematics students tend to be lazy to take part in the lesson and argue that learning mathematics is very difficult to learn so that many students cannot answer questions asked by the teacher during the learning evaluation process.
Also, the media used are still simple media such as textbooks that make students easily bored and bored.
Realizing this, it is important to make updates and utilize digital media that can increase student motivation in learning mathematics.
Therefore, learning activities are needed that create a more pleasant, positive, and conducive atmosphere during the learning process, one of which is by utilizing the application.
Based on the background above, the authors are interested in researching AuUtilization of the Photomarh Application as a Mathematics Learning Media to Increase Student Learning Motivation on the Material of Linear Equation One Variable Class Vi at MTs Sarji Ar-Rasyid in the 2024-2025 Academic YearAy.
