Transformation of Student Motivation Through the Use of Quizizz in Language Learning: A Longitudinal Approach in Secondary Education

This study aims to explore the transformation of student motivation in language learning through the use of the Quizizz gamification platform with a longitudinal approach. Quizizz was chosen because of its gamification elements that can increase student engagement and motivation to learn. A quantitative approach with an experimental design was used to measure changes in students' motivation in the experimental group using Quizizz and the control group using conventional learning methods. A total of 60 high school students participated in the study, with motivation measurements taken at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. The results showed that the use of Quizizz significantly increased student motivation in the long term compared to conventional methods, with a steady increase at each measurement point. Further analysis showed a positive correlation between gamification elements in Quizizz, such as points and leaderboards, and students' intrinsic motivation. All research hypotheses were accepted, which confirms that Quizizz is not only effective in increasing students' motivation to learn but also maintaining their enthusiasm for learning the language. This research makes an important contribution to the use of digital platforms in education, as well as supporting the implementation of the Independent Curriculum that encourages flexibility and a student-centered learning approach. Quizizz as a gamification platform can be an effective tool in language learning at the secondary education level, potentially increasing student motivation on an ongoing basis.
