Analisis Implementasi Media Storybook Berbasis Gemini AI Pada Motivasi Belajar Siswa Kelas III Materi Energi Di sekitar Kita di SDN Ciracas 03 Pagi

This study aimed to analyze the implementation of a Gemini AI-based Storybook in enhancing the learning motivation of third-grade students on the topic Energy Around Us at SDN Ciracas 03 Pagi. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The research subjects consisted of four purposively selected informants. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the implementation of the Gemini AI-based Storybook involved three stages: introducing the media, delivering learning materials through contextual storytelling, and providing teacher guidance throughout the learning process. The use of the Storybook increased students' attention, curiosity, participation, and self-confidence during classroom activities. Furthermore, students demonstrated higher learning motivation because the learning process became more engaging, interactive, and easier to understand. The successful implementation was supported by adequate learning facilities, contextual Storybook content, teacher competence, and students' literacy skills. However, several challenges were identified, including limited student concentration, restricted instructional time, and technological constraints such as limited digital devices and unstable internet connectivity. Therefore, the Gemini AI-based Storybook has strong potential as an innovative instructional medium for improving elementary students' learning motivation through digital storytelling.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi media Storybook berbasis Gemini AI pada motivasi belajar siswa kelas III materi Energi di Sekitar Kita di SDN Ciracas 03 Pagi. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas empat informan yang dipilih secara purposive. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi Storybook berbasis Gemini AI dilaksanakan melalui tahap pengenalan media, penyampaian materi menggunakan cerita kontekstual, serta pendampingan guru selama proses pembelajaran. Penggunaan media mampu meningkatkan perhatian, rasa ingin tahu, keaktifan, dan kepercayaan diri siswa dalam mengikuti pembelajaran. Selain itu, siswa menunjukkan motivasi belajar yang lebih baik karena pembelajaran menjadi lebih menarik, interaktif, dan mudah dipahami. Keberhasilan implementasi didukung oleh ketersediaan sarana pembelajaran, konten Storybook yang kontekstual, kompetensi guru, serta kemampuan literasi siswa.
