Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Interaktif Berbasis Canva terhadap Motivasi Belajar Siswa

Abstract

Learning motivation is one of the important factors that determine students' success in participating in the learning process. Low learning motivation can be characterized by a lack of attention to the material, low participation during learning, and minimal enthusiasm in completing assignments. The development of educational technology provides opportunities for educators to utilize interesting and interactive digital learning media, one of which is through Canva-based media. This study aims to determine the effect of using Canva-based interactive media on students' learning motivation. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method through a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group received learning using Canva-based interactive media, while the control group received learning using conventional media. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics, which included normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent-samples t-tests to determine differences in learning motivation between the two groups. The results showed that the use of Canva-based interactive media had a positive effect on students' learning motivation. This was indicated by increased student engagement in learning, attention to the material, confidence in expressing opinions, and persistence in completing assignments. Thus, Canva-based interactive media has the potential to be an alternative learning medium to increase student learning motivation, tailored to subject characteristics and learning needs.
