This research aims to determine the effect of using the Wordwall game media on learning motivation and long-term memory in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) in class V students at SD Negeri 1 Purwokerto Kulon, South Purwokerto District, Banyumas Regency. The background to this research is based on the importance of learning motivation and long-term memory in the learning process, especially in science subjects, which are often considered complex by students. The use of interesting and interactive learning media such as the Wordwall game is expected to increase learning motivation and help students remember lesson material in the long term.
The research method used was an experiment with a pre-test and post-test design. This research was carried out from June 3 to July 15 2024. The data obtained was analyzed using an independent sample T-Test to see the significant influence of using the Wordwall game on students' motivation and long-term memory.
The research results show that there is a significant effect of using the Wordwall game on increasing students' learning motivation and long-term memory. This is proven by the results of inferential statistical analysis, where the Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 with a significance level of 0.05, indicating that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Thus, the use of the interactive game Wordwall has proven to be effective in increasing students' motivation and long-term memory in learning science.
