DEVELOPMENT OF IFP-INTEGRATED GOOGLE SITES MEDIA TO IMPROVE SIXTH-GRADE STUDENTS' LEARNING MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low learning motivation and engagement of sixth-grade students at SDN Sumberejo III in Natural and Social Sciences learning, which tended to be monotonous. It aimed to develop Google Sites-based learning media integrated with an Interactive Flat Panel to create a more interactive learning environment. This study used a Research and Development approach with the ADDIE model. Data were collected using validation sheets, learning engagement observation sheets, learning motivation questionnaires, tests, interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the integrated media. The validation result reached 95%, categorized as very valid. Practicality reached 80%, categorized as very practical. The media was also effective, as indicated by an N-gain score of 0.71 and an average student learning motivation score of 87%, categorized as good. These findings indicate that Google Sites media integrated with an Interactive Flat Panel is feasible for improving the motivation and learning engagement of sixth-grade students in Natural and Social Sciences learning.
