Enhancing Grade VIII Students’ Motivation and Interest in Learning Procedure Text Using Quizizz at SMPN 8 Banda Aceh

English, as an international language, plays a crucial role in education and other aspects of life. However, many students, particularly those in Class VIII.7 at SMP Negeri 8 Banda Aceh, face difficulties in learning English. Their low motivation and lack of interest are evident from behaviors such as talking during lessons, disturbing classmates, not paying attention to the teacher, and struggling to understand the material. This lack of motivation is believed to stem from monotonous and unengaging teaching methods. This study aims to enhance students’ motivation and interest in learning Procedure Text by integrating the online learning platform Quizizz. Conducted in two cycles, this Classroom Action Research involved 32 students as participants. Data was collected through participatory observation and documentation of students’ learning outcomes. The findings reveal that the use of Quizizz significantly improved students’ motivation and interest in learning Procedure Text. This was reflected in increased active participation, enthusiasm during quizzes, and higher average scores in each cycle. Moreover, most students found Quizizz engaging, interactive, and enjoyable, with its instant feedback feature further motivating them to learn. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Quizizz is an effective learning tool for enhancing students’ motivation and interest in learning Procedure Text. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to incorporate online learning platforms like Quizizz to create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

English, as an international language, plays a crucial role in education and other aspects of life. However, many students, particularly those in Class VIII.7 at SMP Negeri 8 Banda Aceh, face difficulties in learning English. Their low motivation and lack of interest are evident from behaviors such as talking during lessons, disturbing classmates, not paying attention to the teacher, and struggling to understand the material. This lack of motivation is believed to stem from monotonous and unengaging teaching methods. This study aims to enhance students’ motivation and interest in learning Procedure Text by integrating the online learning platform Quizizz. Conducted in two cycles, this Classroom Action Research involved 32 students as participants. Data was collected through participatory observation and documentation of students’ learning outcomes. The findings reveal that the use of Quizizz significantly improved students’ motivation and interest in learning Procedure Text. This was reflected in increased active participation, enthusiasm during quizzes, and higher average scores in each cycle. Moreover, most students found Quizizz engaging, interactive, and enjoyable, with its instant feedback feature further motivating them to learn. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Quizizz is an effective learning tool for enhancing students’ motivation and interest in learning Procedure Text. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to incorporate online learning platforms like Quizizz to create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment.
