PENGARUH MEDIA WORDWALL TERHADAP MINAT BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATERI METAMORFOSIS SISWA KELAS IV SDN 138 PEKANBARU

Abstract

Students' learning interest is one of the important factors affecting the success of the learning process, especially in science subjects. However, classroom learning is still predominantly teacher-centered, resulting in low student engagement and learning interest. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Wordwall learning media on the learning interest of fourth-grade students in learning metamorphosis at SDN 138 Pekanbaru. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The population consisted of all fourth-grade students at SDN 138 Pekanbaru, totaling 37 students, and the sampling technique used was total sampling. Data were collected using a learning interest questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the Paired Sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed that the average learning interest score increased from 31.00 on the pretest to 51.92 on the posttest. The Paired Sample t-test produced a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the Wordwall learning media on students' learning interest. Furthermore, the average N-Gain score was 0.7206 (72.06%), categorized as high. These findings indicate that the Wordwall learning media effectively improves students' learning interest by creating an interactive, enjoyable, and student-centered learning environment.
