The fulfillment of these needs is carried out through the design of learning in the form of lesson plans, the selection of appropriate learning methods and media as well as good cooperation between schools, teachers, and students. Data were obtained using qualitative methods using a case study approach. Through a case study approach, the data that has been collected is then categorized to find the uniqueness in the data obtained.
