EVALUATION OF THE UTILIZATION OF LMS (LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) IN SCIENCE COURSES IN THE POST- COVID-19 PANDEMIC ERA WITH THE SAMR (SUBSTITUTION, AUGMENTATION, MODIFICATION, AND REDEFINITION) MODEL AT SMP NASIONAL PLUS BPK PENABUR BOGOR

Abstract

In today's digital era, the ability to use technology effectively in learning is a very important skill. aims to see how LMS is applied in various stages of the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) model to evaluate the extent to which this technology can change the way science learning is carried out and improve student learning outcomes. Therefore, the evaluation of the use of LMS is not only seen in terms of the effectiveness of science learning, but also in terms of the development of students' digital skills that will be useful for their lives in the future. This study began with direct observation of the use of the Learning Management System (LMS) in science subjects at SMP Nasional Plus BPK Penabur Bogor. This observation aims to directly observe how LMS is used by teachers and students in teaching and learning activities after the COVID- 19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study type of research which aims to provide an in-depth overview of the use of LMS (Learning Management System) in science subjects at SMP Nasional Plus BPK Penabur Bogor after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study show that the Substitution stage contributes to the accessibility and efficiency of the learning process. However, this stage has not shown any transformation in learning methods. Therefore, Substitution is an important first step in the integration of educational technology. stage Augmentation , Teachers do not only deliver materials in one direction, but also provide direct feedback through the platform. The Modification stage shows a real change in the way learning is designed and implemented. LMS is no longer just a tool , but as the main platform for project-based learning. Teachers design collaborative activities that allow students to work together online. Students create multimedia presentations, experiment videos, and group discussions through the LMS forum. stage Redefinition , LMS is used to create learning experiences that were previously impossible without technology.
