Development of Wordwall-Based Indonesian Language Learning Media to Increase Student Learning Motivation

Abstract

Indonesian language learning often faces challenges in increasing students' learning motivation, especially when the methods used are less interesting and tend to be monotonous. This study aims to develop Wordwall-based learning media in Indonesian language learning and measure its effectiveness in increasing students' learning motivation. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The subjects of the study were junior high school (SMP) students selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through observation, learning motivation questionnaires, and interviews, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and content analysis. The results of the study showed that the use of Wordwall significantly increased students' learning motivation. Data from the questionnaire showed an increase in student motivation scores after the use of Wordwall-based learning media. In addition, the results of observations showed that students became more active, enthusiastic, and involved in the learning process. Interviews with students and teachers also revealed that Wordwall helped make learning more fun and interactive, thereby increasing students' understanding of Indonesian language material. The conclusion of this study is that Wordwall-based learning media is effective in increasing students' learning motivation. The main advantage of this media is its interactive features that can increase student engagement in learning. However, challenges in implementation include limited access to technology and the need for initial adaptation for students who are not familiar with this platform. Therefore, it is recommended for teachers to provide initial guidance in using Wordwall and combine it with other learning methods for more optimal results.
