PENGARUH PENINGKATAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA SMK PADA MATA PELAJARAN MATEMATIKA YANG MENGGUNAKAN BANTUAN PERANGKAT LUNAK WAYGROUND

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low learning motivation of class X TKJ 1 student at SMK PGRI 13 Surabaya in mathematics. Based on initial observations, students found mathematics difficult and boring, and the teacher still used lecture methods without variations in learning media. The aims of this study were to determine students' responses and the effect of using Wayground software on students' learning motivation. The research used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method of the Kemmis and McTaggart model conducted in two cycles. The research subjects were 37 students of class X TKJ 1. Data collection techniques used learning motivation questionnaires, observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that students' responses to Wayground were very positive with the average observation score increasing from 3.14 (Good) in cycle I to 4.00 (Very Good) in cycle II. Students' learning motivation also increased significantly from 83.75% in cycle I to 92.50% in cycle II, with an increase of 8.75%. The number of students in the Very High motivation category increased from 75.68% to 91.89%. All motivation indicators increased, with learning preparation being the highest increase (+0.24) and learning focus improving. The conclusion of this study is that the use of Wayground software is effective in increasing students' learning motivation and received very positive responses. This research is expected to be a reference for teachers in developing innovative and interactive technology-based mathematics learning.
