PERAN LITERASI VISUAL DALAM PENGGUNAAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH KEBUDAYAAN ISLAM PADA SISWA KELAS X MAN 2 LANGKAT

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of visual literacy in the use of Islamic Cultural History learning media at MAN 2 Langkat. The method used is qualitative research, which includes observation, interviews, and documentation to collect data. The results showed that 1) The application of visual literacy, through media such as PowerPoint, images, and videos, has proven effective in improving students' understanding of complex material. 2) The use of diverse learning media, especially visual media, encourages students' active involvement, with the support of adequate facilities such as projectors, which make the learning process more interactive. 3) Visual literacy helps connect theory with practice, so students are not only able to remember historical information, but also understand the context and significance of the historical events taught. This research provides important insights for teachers to integrate visual literacy in the learning process, in order to increase students' interest and motivation.
