In the context of learning English as a foreign language, motivation is a very important thing, especially in determining the success of the learning process itself. In this case, it provides positive energy and the willingness of students to achieve success in what they have learned. The motivation to learn English itself cannot be separated from two things, namely the attitudes and effective conditions of students which can directly influence the efforts made by students in learning a foreign language. These attitudes and affective conditions are driving factors that encourage students to try harder in learning. Therefore, the goal of learning English itself is achieved.
The problems that exist with partners were based on pre-observational learning data and interviews with teachers at the school. In teaching English, the teacher used traditional and monotonous learning so that student motivation was low. In the era of industry 4.0 and society 5.0, there is a need for a touch of sophisticated technology in every aspect of life, one of which is in the field of education. In the field of education and teaching, teachers need mastery of advanced technology so that teachers are always updated on technology and are not left behind. With the mastery of technology, it will make it easier for teachers to teach and make learning something very fun and interesting so that it can increase student motivation.
The target of this activity is the general public, namely students and teachers at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya. It is hoped that student motivation will increase and teachers can master the Jamboard learning application media well so that it can be applied to all students. The problem at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya is the low motivation of students in learning English. Therefore, it is necessary to first identify the extent of students’ learning motivation in learning English and the causes. Furthermore, it is also necessary to increase the mastery of technology in the field of education for both students and teachers, especially in terms of using technology-based media applications using the Jamboard application media in learning English.
From the problems above, the chairman and the team have a solution to the problem. Firstly, identifying in advance the extent of students’ learning motivation in learning English both before and after treatment is carried out in the form of training in the use of the Jamboard learning application media. This is done by using a questionnaire about students’ motivation in learning English. Secondly, increasing the mastery of technology in the field of education for both students and teachers, especially in terms of using technology-based media applications using the Jamboard application media in learning English. For this reason, they took the initiative to hold a webinar via Zoom meeting entitled “Using Jamboards in Teaching English to Increase Student Motivation at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya”.
It is hoped that by using the Jamboard learning application media the problems stated above can be resolved properly with the target of all target partners, namely students and teachers at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya. It is hoped that student motivation will increase and teachers can master the Jamboard learning application media well so that it can be applied to all students. In addition, the output in the form of publication of Sinta 5 accredited national journal articles can be realized so that writing on the use of Jamboard in increasing student motivation can be useful for readers.
The output targets are: Mastery of technology-based learning media in learning English increases, students’ motivation in learning English increases and publication in the SINTA 5 national journal, electronic mass media, Intellectual Property Rights sertificate, reports on improvements.
Pre-observation learning data and questionnaire data on students when the team conducted the survey indicated that students’ motivation in learning English was low. In addition, data from interviews with teachers at the school show that there is a lack of mastery of technology-based learning media in learning English so that learning is still traditional and monotonous. This is what causes learning English to be uninteresting and unpleasant and one of the possibilities is that it causes low motivation of students in learning English. With the use of the Jamboard learning application media, it is hoped that students’ motivation will increase, the teacher’s mastery of the English learning application media will increase so that learning English can be done in an interesting and fun way.
The achievement indicator of increasing student motivation is the increased motivation of students in learning English at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya by using the Jamboard application media which can be seen from:
- Assessment of student activities is taken from student activity sheets during learning activities. Filling in student sheets was taken from the PkM team’s observations during two meetings. The learning completeness of students is assessed from student learning outcomes taken from the student tests given (pre-test and post-test). The Minimum Completeness Criteria that has been set is 75 from the aspect of knowledge on a scale of 0-100. If the value obtained: 0-49 (Very not good); 50-69 (Not good); 70-89 (Good); 90-100 (Very good). The results of the pre-test and post-test will later be compared.
- Student response data were obtained from questionnaires which were analyzed by looking for the percentage of student answers for each question in the questionnaire. The questionnaire is in the form of questions with the type of Yes/No Question (Yes/No). If the student’s response is yes > 75%, this indicates that the student’s response is positive towards learning English using the Jamboard application.
The achievement indicator of increased technology mastery is the increased teacher mastery of the Jamboard English learning application media at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya. This is obtained from the results of obtaining questionnaires for students at SMP PGRI 6 Surabaya. This is of course supported by observations in the field by directly observing the practice of the teachers where the PKM implementers will fill in the observation checklist based on the results of observations on sampling. If the result is obtained at least 80% of the total ability of teachers and students who have mastered technology and based on the results of the observation checklist entries, the teacher’s mastery of technology in learning English using the Jamboard application media has increased.
