Interactive Learning Media Wordwall to Improve Motivation and Geography Learning Outcomes

This study examines the application of interactive learning media Wordwall to improve motivation and geography learning outcomes in grade XI-9 students of SMA Negeri 1 Barat, Magetan Regency. Using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method of the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the study was conducted in three stages: pre-cycle, cycle I, and cycle II. The results showed an increase in learning motivation from 39.72% (pre-cycle) to 57.91% (cycle I) and 80.69% (cycle II). Student learning outcomes also increased with classical completeness from 58.33% (pre-cycle) to 69.44% (cycle I) and 83.33% (cycle II). The application of Wordwall successfully changed the learning paradigm from "learning because you have to" to "learning because you want to" by creating a fun competitive atmosphere through challenges and educational games. This study proves the effectiveness of Wordwall as an alternative learning media to overcome boredom and increase student engagement in geography learning.
