Abstract

This study is motivated by the low level of students’ learning motivation in IPAS learning, thus requiring the use of innovative learning media, namely the Mystery Box. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Mystery Box learning media, to examine students’ learning motivation before and after the treatment, and to analyze its effect on improving students’ learning motivation. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design. Data collection techniques included questionnaires and observation, while data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing using the Independent Samples t-Test, supported by gain score analysis to determine the improvement in learning motivation. The results indicate that the use of the Mystery Box learning media improves students’ learning motivation and shows a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Therefore, the Mystery Box learning media has a significant effect on improving the learning motivation of fourth-grade students at SD Inpres Panaikang 11 Makassar.
