A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed, utilizing interviews, obsevations, and an analysis of learning evaluation results as data collection techniques. The findings reveal that most students perceive Quizizz as providing a more engaging and interactive learning experience through gamification features such as leaderboards and instant feedback. This positively impacted students learning motivation, with a 15% increase in average evaluation scores compared to conventional methods. However, the study also identified significant challenges, particularly limited internet access, especially for students residing in remote areas of Papua.
