PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS APLIKASI KAHOOT TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR PESERTA DIDIK PADA MATA PELAJARAN BAHASA INDONESIA DI SD NEGERI 4 GERENENG TAHUN PELAJARAN 2025/2026

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using Kahoot application-based learning

media on student learning outcomes in the Indonesian Language subject for fifth-

grade students at SD Negeri 4 Gereneng. The research employed a quantitative

method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 20

students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through

multiple-choice tests to measure learning outcomes and questionnaires to capture

student responses. The results showed that the average pretest score was 45.75,

which increased to 81 in the posttest, indicating a significant improvement in

student achievement. Furthermore, 65% of students expressed positive responses

toward the use of Kahoot, highlighting its role in creating a more engaging and

interactive learning environment. Hypothesis testing using the t-test confirmed that

the t-count was greater than the t-table for both learning outcomes (27.41 > 1.725)

and student responses (11.84 > 1.725), with a significance level of 0.05. These

findings demonstrate that Kahoot-based learning media has a significant impact

on improving student learning outcomes and can serve as an effective alternative

for teachers to integrate technology into classroom learning.
