Managing Fourth-Grade Elementary School Students’ Learning Motivation through Scrapbook Media-Based QR Code in Social Studies

Abstract

Purpose: This research examined the effect of Scrapbook media-based QR codes to improve students' motivation to learn Social Studies. Methodology This inquiry used the Research and Development (RND) method to develop a Scrapbook media-based QR code product and test the resulting product's effectiveness; the researcher used an experimental form of one group pretest-posttest design. This research and development used the ADDIE model, which contained five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The population of this study comprised fourth-grade elementary school students from the Srengseng sub-district, Kembangan, West Jakarta. The sample of this study was drawn randomly, employing the Slovin formula, with 73 students as the experimental group. The data analysis approach in this study uses a paired sample t-test to test the hypothesis and the Kolmogorov-Smimov test to test the normality of the data distribution. Findings This study found that the posttest mean score for 73 students was 58.22, which was greater than the pretest means of 83.42. This study concludes that applying a Scrapbook media-based QR code positively improves the learning motivation of fourth-grade elementary school students in the Srengseng sub-district, Kembangan, West Jakarta, Indonesia. Implications to Research and Practice This research contributes to increasing students' motivation to gain knowledge and experience using technology in 21st-century learning, especially in fun social studies learning.
