Analysis of the PBL model assisted by Kahoot media as an innovative learning approach on students' interest in elementary school

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and impact of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model supported by Kahoot media as an innovative learning approach on students' learning interest in elementary schools. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to collect data on the factors and implementation of the PBL Model supported by Kahoot media. The research participants were one class of fourth-grade elementary school students involved in learning using the PBL Model with Kahoot media. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers, and analysis of learning documents. The data were analyzed using the Milles and Huberman approach, with source and method triangulation to validate the results. The research findings indicate that the PBL Model supported by Kahoot media has a positive impact on increasing students' learning interest, as evidenced by increased student engagement, understanding of concepts, and learning motivation from questionnaire analysis with an average of 82%. Although there were some challenges, such as limited access to technology and teacher readiness, the use of the PBL Model supported by Kahoot media was considered effective in creating a fun and motivating learning environment. This approach can be considered an effective learning strategy for increasing students' learning interest in elementary schools, with adequate preparation and support from the school and teachers.
