Abstract

This study examines whether Quizizz-based learning enhances students’ motivation in social studies, addressing the limited integration of gamified tools in Indonesian classrooms. Employing a quantitative experimental method with a post-test-only control group design, the research involved two randomly selected seventh-grade classes at SMP 1 Southeast Aceh. One class served as the experimental group using Quizizz-based learning, while the other functioned as the control group with conventional teaching methods. The sample consisted of 39 students—19 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group. Data were collected through post-test assessments measuring students' interest and engagement in learning. The results indicate a significant difference in learning engagement between the two groups. The experimental group achieved an average score of 90.78, while the control group averaged 61.05. An independent sample t-test yielded a t-value of 5.3693, exceeding the critical value of 1.684 at the 5% significance level (p < 0.05), confirming a statistically significant effect. These findings suggest that Quizizz-based learning positively influences student engagement in social studies. This study underscores integrating interactive digital tools to create a more engaging learning environment. It is recommended that educators incorporate platforms like Quizizz to foster active participation and enhance learning experiences. Future research should explore long-term impacts across diverse subjects and educational settings to broaden the applicability of gamified learning strategies in Indonesian education.

Abstract

This study examines the evolving role of the Bines Dance in the matchmaking traditions of the Gayo community in Southeast Aceh. Initially performed as an interlude to the Saman Dance, the Bines Dance has developed into a meaningful cultural practice, particularly within the bejamu Saman tradition, where it serves as a subtle platform for courtship between local female dancers (seberu) and male visitors (tetamu). Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach, this research explores the lived experiences of individuals involved in or affected by the dance. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving 15 informants: cultural leaders, dancers, matchmaking facilitators, and community members. Findings reveal that the Bines Dance acts as a poetic form of indirect communication. Female dancers express romantic interest through structured rhymes and metaphorical verses, initiating a symbolic exchange known as najuk. This tradition allows emotional expression while adhering to customary norms. The offering of a money ring (cincin uang) by the male guest’s family to the dancer marks a shift toward serious intent, often culminating in arranged meetings and marriage. The study concludes that the Bines Dance functions not only as entertainment but also as a living cultural mechanism for relationship-building and social cohesion. It reflects the community’s values while adapting to modern contexts, highlighting the importance of preserving traditional art as a dynamic force within Gayo society.
