Analysis Of The Use Of Wordwall Games Media In Improving Students’ Interest In Mathematics Elementary School Students

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using Wordwall game-based learning media on the interest in
learning mathematics of grade VI students at SDN Sukajaya, Musi Rawas. In facing the challenge of
low student interest in learning mathematics, this study integrates technology in the form of Wordwall
to create more interactive and enjoyable learning. The approach used is qualitative descriptive, with
17 students selected by purposive sampling as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, learning interest questionnaires, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in various indicators of student learning interest, such as enthusiasm, active
involvement, curiosity about the material, concentration during learning, and reduced anxiety about
mathematics. The use of Wordwall has proven effective in increasing students’ interest in learning mathematics, because it provides fun and interactive challenges. This media is also considered easy to use,
relevant to the material, and creates an interesting learning experience. This study suggests that more
game-based learning media be used in education, as well as the importance of training for teachers so
that they can utilize educational technology more optimally.
