Abstract

Islamic religious education is an important part of the curriculum in many countries with a majority Muslim population. However, challenges in teaching Islam are often related to limited resources and lack of student involvement. The use of technology in learning can be a solution to improve the quality of Islamic learning and motivate students independently. This research also aims to determine the extent to which the application of gamification techniques can empower learners in the context of Islamic religious education. This research uses an experimental approach. Data about students' academic performance and level of self-motivation were collected through academic tests and questionnaires before and after treatment. The research results show that the use of technology-enhanced learning tools in Islamic learning significantly improves students' academic performance. Apart from that, it was found that the application of gamification techniques in learning also had a positive impact on students' self-motivation. Students who are involved in learning that uses technology and gamification techniques show a higher level of motivation in studying Islamic religious material compared to students who follow conventional learning methods. The conclusion of this research explains that the use of technology-enhanced learning tools and gamification techniques can be an effective strategy in improving students' academic performance and self-motivation in learning Islamic religion. The implementation of technology in Islamic learning not only enriches the learning experience, but also empowers students to become more active and enthusiastic autonomous learners.

Abstract

Innovative and engaging learning is becoming increasingly important in modern education. Gamification techniques, which adapt game elements to learning contexts, have attracted research interest as a potentially effective approach to improving student achievement and learning motivation. This research aims to evaluate the effect of gamification techniques on student achievement and motivation in learning. This research method uses an experimental approach with a randomized controlled design, involving two groups of students: an experimental group that applies gamification techniques and a control group that follows conventional learning. Data was collected through achievement tests, learning motivation questionnaires, and classroom observations. The results of this study explain that data analysis shows that students who were involved in learning using gamification techniques had significantly higher achievement than the control group. In addition, students’ learning motivation in the experimental group was also significantly higher than that in the control group. Classroom observations showed higher levels of engagement and participation from students in lessons that used gamification techniques. The conclusion of this research supports the idea that the use of gamification techniques in learning has a positive impact on student achievement and learning motivation. This shows the potential of gamification techniques as an effective tool in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of learning. The practical implication of this research is that the gamification approach can be integrated into curriculum design to create a more interesting and encouraging learning environment for students. It is hoped that this research can further explore specific aspects of implementing gamification techniques in different educational contexts
