Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of using Wordwall media on the learning interest of fifth-grade elementary school students in the Water Cycle topic. Wordwall is utilized as an interactive, technology-based learning tool designed to enhance student engagement and motivation. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method. The study was conducted at SD IP YLPI Pekanbaru, involving 63 fifth-grade students divided into three classes: VA (21 students), VB (20 students), and VC (23 students). The sample consisted of an experimental class and a control class, with 21 and 20 students respectively. Data analysis techniques included tests, normality tests, t-tests, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that the use of Wordwall significantly influences students' learning interest. This is evidenced by a notable difference between pretest and posttest scores in the experimental group. The findings suggest that Wordwall is an effective alternative medium to improve student learning interest and assist both teachers and students in overcoming learning challenges.
