This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of using Canva as a digital storytelling platform to enhance their visual and written narrative skills in English writing. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 34 students who participated in a questionnaire consisting of eight closed-ended statements and two open-ended questions. The data were analyzed descriptively, using percentages to support qualitative interpretation. The findings revealed that most students perceived Canva as an accessible, enjoyable, and effective tool for developing writing skills. Students agreed that Canva helps them visualize ideas, organize stories logically, and combine words with images creatively. Moreover, Canva was found to improve students’ motivation, confidence, and emotional expression in English writing. These results are consistent with previous studies by Utami and Suriyani (2022), Febriansyah et al. (2023), Siregar et al. (2024), Herwani (2024), Eragamreddy and Joseph (2025), Hafidzin et al. (2025), and Jayanti et al. (2025), which collectively highlight Canva’s role in supporting writing engagement, creativity, and organization. The study concludes that Canva transforms traditional writing into a multimodal and meaningful process, combining linguistic and visual literacy. Therefore, Canva can be considered an innovative pedagogical tool that promotes creative thinking, digital competence, and expressive communication in the English writing classroom.

Meaningful learning is a crucial requirement in 21st-century education, particularly in the face of the increasingly rapid development of digital technology. However, teachers' limited knowledge and skills in utilizing digital learning media remain a challenge, particularly in junior high schools. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of meaningful learning through training on the Canva-based deep learning model at SMP Negeri 2 Mappakasunggu. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design. The subjects were teachers at SMP Negeri 2 Mappakasunggu who participated in the training as part of the Community Service Program (KKN). The research instrument was a knowledge test on Canva administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) training. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and N-Gain calculations. The results showed that the average pretest score for teachers was 42.3 with a range of 30–55, while the average posttest score increased to 70.8 with a range of 65–76. The N-Gain calculation of 0.49 is in the moderate category. These findings indicate that training on the Canva-based deep learning model is effective in enhancing teacher knowledge and supporting meaningful learning. This study recommends the continued implementation of similar training to improve the quality of technology-based learning in schools.  

This community service program aimed to strengthen the digital competencies of junior high school students through a structured workshop on graphic design and photography. The activity was conducted on June 10–11, 2025 at Universitas Ma Chung and involved thirteen students from SMP Insan Amanah accompanied by their teachers. The program was designed based on prior identification of learning needs conducted through coordination with school representatives. The workshop integrated theoretical instruction and hands-on practice covering basic photography concepts such as angle, shot, triangle exposure, and three point lighting, followed by editorial layout training using Canva. Students were guided to edit photographs, arrange layouts, and select appropriate text elements. The results indicated improvements in students’ technical skills, learning engagement, and collaborative behavior. A campus tour conducted at the end of the program provided additional insight into the academic environment of higher education. Overall, the program demonstrated that practice-based learning effectively supports digital skill development among junior high school students.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with Canva in improving students’ reflective thinking skills in the Aqidah Akhlaq subject at MTsN 3 Tuban. Reflective thinking is an essential competency that enables students to analyze moral behavior, evaluate decision-making processes, and connect Islamic ethical concepts with real-life experiences. However, preliminary observations indicated that students’ reflective thinking skills were still low and tended to remain at the level of theoretical understanding without deeper analysis. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The subjects consisted of 30 eighth-grade students. The research instrument was a reflective thinking test developed based on indicators of moral evaluation, situation analysis, and experiential reflection, which had been validated through expert judgment. The learning process was conducted by applying the stages of Problem Based Learning integrated with Canva as a visual media to organize problem-solving steps and present students’ reflective outputs. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired samples t-test. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ reflective thinking skills after participating in PBL learning supported by Canva. Pretest scores ranged from 48 to 71 with an average of 59.67, while posttest scores increased to a range of 60 to 89 with an average of 71.20. The mean gain of 11.53 points was statistically significant as indicated by the t-test results (t = 10.39; sig. = 0.000), further supported by Cohen’s d value of 1.90, which falls into the category of a very large effect size. Qualitatively, students demonstrated enhanced abilities in identifying core problems, analyzing alternative actions, evaluating their cognitive processes, and visualizing moral reflections systematically through Canva. In conclusion, the PBL model integrated with Canva is effective in improving students’ reflective thinking skills in the Aqidah Akhlaq subject. This model not only enhances academic outcomes but also strengthens character development, creativity, and higher-order thinking skills, which are essential for 21st-century learning.
