Digital-Based Learning Media Innovation: Improving Motivation and Science Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of digital-based learning media innovation in improving students' motivation and learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects at elementary school level. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study method on fifth grade students at an elementary school in Indonesia. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of relevant documents. The results of the study indicate that the use of digital-based learning media, such as interactive applications and learning videos, can increase students' enthusiasm in the learning process. Students show higher motivation, characterized by active involvement and positive responses during learning. In addition, student learning outcomes also increase, both in terms of understanding concepts and the ability to apply the material. Supporting factors for the success of digital media implementation include technology accessibility, teacher training, and the suitability of the material to the curriculum. This study concludes that digital-based learning media innovation not only facilitates more interesting learning but also contributes significantly to increasing student motivation and learning outcomes. This study recommends further development of child-friendly digital media designs and improving technology infrastructure in elementary schools.
