EFEKTIVITAS PELATIHAN PEMANFAATAN POWER POINT MELALUI METODE ASISTENSI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KOMPETENSI GURU DI SMPN 37 PALEMBANG

Abstract

This community service was inspired by teachers' lack of capacity at SMP N 37 Palembang to use the PowerPoint application as a teaching aid in the classroom. A training program for the use of PowerPoint applications is therefore required to provide teacher training to optimize the PowerPoint application's role as an interactive learning tool that can be used for individual learning and indirectly increase teacher competence scores. To enhance this program's effectiveness, the Instructors from the Electrical Engineering Department of Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya use the Assistance Approach as a way of distributing materials from the Community Service Team (Instructors) to the Teacher (Participants) to improve the comprehension of the materials provided. Observation and evaluation results show (a) Participants applied the assistance method with 85.5 points, excluding the assistance method with 71.5 points. (b) The pre-test results averaged 70 points, and the post-test results averaged 90 points.
