PENERAPAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN KAHOOT DALAM MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN MATEMATIKA DI KELAS III SD INPRES KALUKUBULA

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' motivation to learn mathematics through the application of Kahoot learning media in grade III of SD Inpres Kalukubula. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach implemented in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of the study were 30 students consisting of 13 male students and 17 female students. Data were obtained through observation, documentation, and student learning motivation questionnaires. The results showed an increase in each assessment indicator. The average value of learning outcomes increased from 36.75% in the pre-cycle to 68.5% in the first cycle, and increased again to 92.5% in the second cycle. Teacher and student activities also showed significant improvements in each cycle, reaching the very good category in the second cycle. These findings indicate that Kahoot is able to create meaningful learning, actively engage students, and help in understanding mathematical concepts through quizzes. Thus, Kahoot learning media can be used as an alternative effective learning strategy to improve motivation to learn mathematics in elementary schools.
