Efforts to Increase Student Learning Motivation Through the Implementation of Interactive Media at SDN 48 Palembang
Abstract
This study addresses the growing concern regarding declining learning motivation among elementary school students in the digital era and explores the potential of interactive digital media as an effective pedagogical intervention. The primary objective was to empirically evaluate the impact of interactive digital media on the learning motivation of fifth-grade students at SDN 48 Palembang. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest control group design, the research involved 30 students purposively selected and divided into experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group received instruction utilizing interactive smartboard-based media over two 60-minute sessions, while the control group engaged in conventional teacher-centered instruction. Data were collected through a validated learning motivation questionnaire and analyzed using parametric statistical tests, including normality, homogeneity, and independent samples t-tests. The results revealed a substantial and statistically significant improvement in learning motivation for the experimental group (mean gain: 20.20 points) compared to the control group (mean gain: 7.30 points), with t = 3.215 and p = 0.003. These findings demonstrate that interactive digital media effectively enhances students’ affective engagement by transforming passive learning routines into dynamic, student-centered experiences. Consequently, the study underscores the strategic importance of integrating purposefully designed digital tools into elementary curricula to foster sustained academic motivation. Educators and school administrators are encouraged to adopt technology-enhanced pedagogical strategies supported by continuous teacher training and adequate digital infrastructure.
