INTRODUCTION
The post-pandemic learning process has experienced significant changes.Digital-based learning is the main focus of post-pandemic educational transformation.This requires teachers to have the ability to manage meaningful learning in the classroom.Teachers must have the | 53 ability to master technology in order to create learning with digital technology (Astuti, Dasmo, and Bhakti, 2021).
The success of learning outcomes is determined by the teacher's ability to manage meaningful learning.The presence of MGMP is able to accommodate teacher skill improvement, but in reality this is not optimal.Organizational scope that is too broad, unorganized management, lack of budget availability, and stakeholder support are crucial problems.In line with this, teachers still often use conventional methods in learning (Devi, Fadly, and Kartikasari, 2020).In fact, innovative digital-based learning can increase students' potential and train their creativity (Amirudin, et al., 2019).
Moreover, the Society 5.0 era encourages meaningful learning innovation for students.Teacher professionalism in managing meaningful learning in the 5.0 era requires people who are more than just diligent, intelligent, creative and innovative.Teachers must be careful in selecting and applying professional skills to manage meaningful learning in the 5.0 era, including selecting appropriate learning media.
The choice of learning media needs to be considered according to the needs and characteristics of students in the 5.0 era.Even in selecting learning media, a teacher must clearly understand the philosophical, psychological, technological and empirical foundations (Fatmawati, 2021).However, facts in the field show that the learning media used are limited to printed textbooks, electronic textbooks/Ebooks, and slideshows/Powerpoint.This can influence student learning outcomes to be less than optimal.
More specifically, the learning media used in learning Indonesian must also be adjusted to the depth of the learning material.Freedom to learn for teachers and students in the learning process is a specialty of the Merdeka Curriculum (Barlian, Solekah, and Rahayu, 2022).The language skills taught are increasingly developing.In this case, receptive skills include listening, reading and viewing skills.The productive skills are speaking, presenting and writing (Mulyadi and Wekaningsih, 2022).
Writing skills occupy the highest stage in other language skills.Writing skills are said to be a complex process.Writing skills are the estuary of various other language skills and need to be supported by mastery of knowledge (Hatmo, 2021).This shows that the writing process is complex and requires media assistance to accommodate Indonesian language learning, especially writing skills.Digital support should be one of the main parts of the academic writing training process and should be included in training programs implications.(Ivanova et al., 2022) Observation results show that Indonesian language subject teachers in Tegal City have not utilized digital learning media optimally.Especially when learning writing skills, teachers admit that they experience difficulties in transferring the writing process to students.Teachers' skills need to be improved to be able to accommodate digital learning media in order to realize meaningful learning of writing skills in the 5.0 era.
One form of learning media that can be used to improve writing skills is animated video learning media.Video media combines visuals (images) and audio (sound) at one time so that it can be received easily by the senses (Yudianto, 2017).Animation is a collection of images combined to create movement.Animated videos are a popular medium because they are able to attract users' attention (Retnawati, 2021).
Making animated videos easily and practically can be done with the help of the Powtoon application.The Powtoon application is software that accommodates teachers to create free animated video presentations professionally.Powtoon is a web-based tool that has a variety of | 54 media features, graphics, cartoons and animated images smoothly and logically (Semaan and Ismail, 2018).
Previous research conducted by Hardiyanti, et al. (2020) there was an increase in teacher confidence in integrating technology in learning after training in making Powtoon animation videos.Kusrini, Trisna, and Iktiarti (2022) showed results that there was a significant increase in participants' mastery of their understanding of the meaning of learning videos, from the average being less than good.Likewise Budiarti, et al. (2023) in their research showed that the results of the Powtoon animated video training and guidance program were very impressive with a percentage of 86.5%.
In this regard, Powtoon animated video learning media can be a solution to the problems of Indonesian language teachers in Tegal City in accommodating meaningful writing skills learning activities in the 5.0 Era.The training activity aims to benchmark the study, namely in the form of alternative learning concepts that can be applied in an effort to improve the quality of learning and increase learning interactions, as well as creating treasures and innovations in developing knowledge about learning in the 5.0 Era.
