PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN IPA BERBASIS TEKNOLOGI AR TERHADAP MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the use of Augmented Reality (AR)-based Natural Science (IPA) learning media on the learning motivation of fifth-grade students at Muhammadiyah Idi Tello Baru Elementary School. The type of research used is qualitative research with fifth-grade students and teachers as research subjects. Research data were obtained from primary and secondary sources through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation techniques. Data analysis was carried out in three stages, namely data processing through hypothesis testing and normality testing, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the use of AR-based Science learning media can provide a positive and significant influence on student learning motivation. This is seen from the increase in enthusiasm, attention, and activeness of students in participating in the learning process. Students find it easier to understand abstract material because it is visualized through interactive and interesting AR technology. In addition, teachers are also helped in presenting material with more variety, so that the classroom atmosphere becomes more lively and enjoyable. Overall, the use of AR-based Science learning media is proven to increase learning motivation while fostering students' interest in exploring science material in more depth.
