Effectiveness of the Use of Quizizz Media on Students' Learning Interest

This quantitative research examined the efficacy of Quizizz, an educational game-based learning platform, in fostering students' interest in learning within Vocational High Schools. The objectives included the assessment of the impact of Quizizz on student engagement, attitudes towards learning, perceptions of assessments, and the role of game characteristics in fostering the learning interest. A sample of 100 students from two Vocational High Schools in Bengkulu City, Indonesia, was randomly selected, and an interactive learning assessment tool using Quizizz, was employed for the evaluation. Pre- and post-implementation surveys, observations, and interviews were conducted in order to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, reliability tests, and normality tests, were employed to analyse the obtained data. Comparing pre- and post-implementation surveys, substantial enhancements across various indicators of learning interest, including happiness, involvement, interest, and attention were observed. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' learning interest following the implementation of Quizizz. The pre-implementation surveys revealed insufficient levels of interest, while the post-implementation surveys showed substantial enhancements across all indicators, including happiness, involvement, interest, and attention. Statistical tests confirmed the effectiveness of Quizizz in enhancing students' learning interest, with a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The reliability of the instrument used for data collection was established through Cronbach's Alpha test, ensuring consistency and reliability of results. The findings underscored the importance of innovative learning media like Quizizz in stimulating student engagement and interest in learning. By incorporating game elements and interactive features, the Quizizz provides an engaging and effective learning experience, positively impacting students' attitudes towards learning. This study contributed to the literature on educational technology by demonstrating the effectiveness of Quizizz as a learning tool in Vocational High Schools, highlighting its potential of enhancing student learning interest and educational outcomes improvement.
