IMPROVING ASATIDZ'S TEACHING COMPETENCE THROUGH MAKING TEACHING MATERIALS USING MICROSOFT POWERPOINT AND CANVA

Abstract

Today is an era of change in the use of information and communication technology in all aspects of human life. This adoption has also been accelerated by the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic which has also had an impact on the education sector, including Islamic boarding schools that adopt technology on a more massive basis. Islamic boarding schools are becoming more involved in taking on digital and technological contests. Asatidz as a teacher are required to have skills in the field of learning technology. Creating and designing teaching materials that are interesting and in demand by students is a challenge for asatidz. The solution to this problem is to provide training for asatidz on how to make interesting teaching materials using Microsoft Powerpoint and Canva. This community service was carried out in November 2022 face-to-face with a total of 41 participants who were assistants at the Darussalam Kunir Islamic Boarding School, Subang Regency, West Java. The results of the training showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test conducted by the participants. The conclusion is that this activity is perceived as useful by participants and can provide increased knowledge and skills in making presentations for asatidz.
