Learning that takes place in school, particularly in the classroom, involves different students who each have their own strengths and abilities. These strengths are developed and expanded to strengthen their positive motivation and help them become aware of their goals and dreams in life. Teachers provide different tasks or activities in class not to make things difficult for students, but to help them discover abilities they may not yet know they possess. Through various strategies and methods, teachers help students uncover their talents not only in areas they already believe they are good at, but also in new skills they can learn.

These activities are often done in groups because this is an effective way for students to cooperate, interact, discuss, and exchange ideas based on the lesson. In this process, each student is able to contribute their knowledge, opinions, and suggestions related to the topic. It also develops their character as students who think and act not only for themselves but also for the benefit of the group. In addition, it strengthens their social interaction with classmates because they learn how to adapt and relate with others.

Discussion does not rely only on one’s own knowledge; students must also remain open to the ideas of their peers. They exchange ideas based on the lessons discussed, evaluate them, and come to an agreement on the tasks and answers they will present. It is also evident that technology has become part of modern learning today. Students are more comfortable and familiar with using technology as a tool that supports their learning.

For example, students are open to using social media such as Facebook, Google Meet, and Zoom for quick communication within their groups to make planning and completing projects easier. They also use YouTubeto watch educational videos that provide additional knowledge related to their lessons. Tools such as PowerPoint and Canva are used for reporting or research presentations in class. Technology is truly remarkable in what it can do, but even more impressive is the intelligence of students, whose mental abilities continue to develop through the use of technology.
