ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the graphic design skills of high school teachers through the utilization of Canva learning media. This research is a descriptive quantitative study that employs a mixed method, namely surveys and observations. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire to measure teachers' design skills, ability to use graphic design applications, and experience in creating learning media. Observation was carried out by directly observing teachers using graphic design applications. The population and sample of this study consisted of 16 teachers from SMA Negeri 6 Padang. The research instrument was a questionnaire, and the data analysis technique was conducted quantitatively using descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage, and mean. The results of the study indicate that teachers' graphic design skills vary among the 16 teacher samples: 4 teachers (25%) were at the beginner level, 9 teachers (56.25%) were at the intermediate level, and 3 teachers (18.75%) were at the advanced level. These findings suggest that teachers' graphic design skills through the use of Canva are still at a moderate level. Thus, it can be concluded that teachers require more intensive training and support from the school in the form of adequate facilities and sufficient time to improve the quality of the learning media they produce.
