<![CDATA[Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan media pembelajaran digital Wayground terhadap motivasi dan minat belajar siswa SMK pada mata pelajaran Informatika. Penelitian dilaksanakan di SMK Negeri 1 Kalitengah dengan melibatkan 95 siswa kelas X dari kompetensi keahlian Desain dan Produksi Busana (DPB), Layanan Perbankan (LP), dan Teknik Komputer Jaringan (TKJ). Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen one-group pretest-posttest. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner skala Likert dan dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif serta uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test dengan bantuan IBM SPSS Statistics 24. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan motivasi dan minat belajar siswa setelah penggunaan media Wayground. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan nilai signifikansi motivasi sebesar 0,017 dan minat belajar sebesar 0,015 (<0,05), sehingga penggunaan Wayground berpengaruh signifikan terhadap motivasi dan minat belajar siswa. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa media pembelajaran digital berbasis gamifikasi mampu menciptakan pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif, menarik, dan berpusat pada siswa serta mendukung pengembangan inovasi pembelajaran berbasis teknologi di SMK.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the effect of using the Wayground digital learning platform on the motivation and interest in learning among vocational high school students in the Computer Science subject. The study was conducted at SMK Negeri 1 Kalitengah, involving 95 tenth-grade students from the Fashion Design and Production (DPB), Banking Services (LP), and Computer Networking (TKJ) programs. The research method employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics 24. The results indicate an increase in students’ motivation and interest in learning following the use of the Wayground platform. Hypothesis test results showed a significance value of 0.017 for motivation and 0.015 for learning interest (<0.05), indicating that the use of Wayground significantly influences students’ motivation and learning interest. This study concludes that gamification-based digital learning media can create more interactive, engaging, and student-centered learning experiences and supports the development of technology-based learning innovations in vocational high schools.
