PENERAPAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN INTERAKTIF GAMIFIKASI “GEMA” UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA DI KELAS V

Abstract

In response to the rapid advancements in education, teachers face the challenge

of designing engaging and meaningful learning experiences. Mathematics, often perceived

as a difficult subject due to its computational nature, remains a particular area of concern.

Preliminary observations indicate that elementary mathematics instruction frequently relies

on conventional methods, lacking innovative approaches, which results in low student

engagement and participation. This study aims to enhance mathematics learning outcomes

on the topic of plane figure perimeter among fifth-grade students at SDN 3 Sumber by

implementing “GEMA", a gamification-based interactive learning medium. The research

involved 23 students (11 female, 12 male) and employed Classroom Action Research (CAR)

conducted in three phases: pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. The pre-cycle stage included a

diagnostic assessment to evaluate students' baseline abilities. Cycle I utilized the Discovery

Learning model, while Cycle II incorporated Problem-Based Learning (PBL) alongside the

"GEMA" interactive media. Findings revealed a significant improvement, with an 87%

completion rate (20 students meeting passing criteria) in Cycle II. The study concludes that

gamification-based interactive media effectively enhances mathematics learning outcomes in

plane figure perimeter.
