Abstract

This study aims to explore and describe in-depth the form of social media utilization as a learning medium and its impact on the participation and learning motivation of learners in the Paket C Equivalency Program at PKBM Melati, Juppandang Village, Enrekang District. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type to uncover the subjects' experiences naturally. Data collection was carried out through technical triangulation, namely participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving PKBM managers, tutors, and learners selected through purposive sampling. The results showed that the use of social media, specifically the WhatsApp and YouTube platforms, has transformed into the main instruments in implementing distance learning based on a blended learning approach. WhatsApp functions as a mobile-based Learning Management System (LMS) to distribute teaching materials, manage task submissions, and facilitate asynchronous discussions. Meanwhile, YouTube is strategically used as a supporting visual reference to facilitate the independent learning styles of adult learners. The use of social media provides a highly significant positive contribution, namely offering time flexibility for learners who are predominantly active workers, encouraging a transformation towards independent learning (self-directed learning), and effectively overcoming geographical distance barriers for residents living in remote areas. The main obstacles found in the field include internet network instability due to the hilly topography, digital literacy gaps among adult learners, and the economic burden of data quota costs. However, these various obstacles were successfully mitigated through the tutors' adaptive and humanistic policies by providing flexible deadlines for task completion, as well as the innovative involvement of the learners' family members in assisting with the use of technology. In conclusion, the integration of social media has proven effective as an andragogical solution in maintaining the continuity of participation and preserving the motivation of Paket C Equivalency Program learners amidst constraints of space, time, and infrastructure.

Abstract

Low student learning motivation in Sciences and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects is a common problem in elementary schools. One cause is the dominance of teacher-centered teaching methods, which limit students' opportunities for active participation. This study aims to determine the impact of the snowball throwing learning paradigm on student learning motivation during IPAS lessons at UPT SDN 13 Pinrang. Forty fifth-grade students were divided into two groups: a control group (19 students) who received conventional teaching and an experimental group (21 students) who received the snowball throwing model treatment. This study used a non-equivalent control group design and a quantitative, quasi-experimental methodology. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Descriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test, and n-gain analysis were then used for analysis. The results show that the experimental group's average learning motivation score rose from 53.14 (pretest) to 65.48 (posttest). Compared to the control group, which experienced an increase from 53.42 to 58.47, this number is larger. The snowball throwing model significantly influences students' learning motivation, according to the results of the independent sample t-test, with a significance value of 0.010 (p below 0.05). Furthermore, the n-gain analysis revealed that the experimental group had an effectiveness rate of 59.47% (referred to as “moderately effective”), while the control group only achieved 26.09% (referred to as “ineffective”). Thus, it can be emphasized that the snowball throwing learning strategy has a significant and effective influence on increasing students' learning motivation in the science subject.
