Study Assistance Using Kahoot to Understand Exponentiation at MTsN Batu City

Purpose – The learning assistance program using Kahoot aims to improve the understanding of eighth-grade students at MTsN Batu regarding exponentiation. This activity is designed to address the challenges students face in understanding and applying the concept of exponents, particularly in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which emphasizes the use of technology in education. Design/methodology/approach – This study was conducted through a PKM activity using the method of learning assistance, consisting of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The learning modules and Kahoot quizzes were designed to help students understand exponentiation, with interactive sessions and real-time feedback.
