Abstract

This research aimed to improve students’ learning outcomes and motivation in learning Balinese script through the application of the Game-Based Learning (GBL) model. This study employed a classroom action research design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages.

Students’ motivation and participation in learning also increased, as reflected in their higher engagement and enthusiasm during the learning process. Therefore, the implementation of the GBL model proved effective in creating a more interactive learning environment and enhancing students’ learning outcomes.
