This type of research is a quantitative research method in the form of a quasy experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study population consisted of all fourth grade elementary school students in Cluster 1 UPTD, Maja District, Majalengka Regency. The sample was selected through random sampling technique. The data collection technique uses non-test techniques which include interview guidelines, observation guidelines, and documentation. The results showed that; (1) student learning motivation in the experimental class is higher than the control class, with the acquisition of the independent t-test results of 0.00 <0.05, and the mean data in the experimental class is higher than the control class; the N-Gain result of the control class was 0.24, while the experimental class was 0.43; and (2) there is a difference in the average learning motivation of students at very high, high, and sufficient levels in the experimental class. This is evidenced by the acquisition of one way ANOVA test results of 0.00 <0.05. Furthermore, the post hoc test was carried out to determine which group was the most significant, and the largest mean difference was obtained in the very high group, namely 22,333Keywords: Independent School, Pancasila, Education, National Insight ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah; (1) menentukan pengaruh pembelajaran berbasis permainan tradisional terhadap motivasi belajar; dan (2) menemukan seberapa besar perbedaan pengaruh pembelajaran berbasis permainan tradisional dan pembelajaran ekspositori terhadap motivasi belajar siswa.
