Abstract

This study investigates students' perceptions of Kahoot as a gamified assessment tool for TOEFL Structure and Written Expression. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study analyzes responses from 19 participants who engaged in Kahoot-based evaluations. Findings reveal that Kahoot's interactive features—leaderboards, real-time feedback, and competitive scoring—significantly enhanced students' motivation, engagement, and enthusiasm during the evaluation process. The majority of participants expressed strong interest in using Kahoot for future evaluations and incorporating it into their teaching practices, citing its user-friendliness and effectiveness in sustaining attention throughout the assessment. Notably, no participants reported disinterest or demotivation, further reinforcing the platform’s potential as an engaging learning tool. This study highlights the transformative potential of gamified tools like Kahoot in creating dynamic learning environments that enhance traditional assessments. The results offer valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers seeking to integrate gamification into educational practices, particularly in high-stakes test preparation contexts. The implications of this research suggest that incorporating gamified tools can not only increase student engagement but also foster deeper learning through interactive and enjoyable assessment experiences. Moreover, such tools can bridge the gap between learning and assessment by making evaluations less intimidating and more accessible. Future research should explore its application across diverse educational settings and its long-term impact on learning outcomes

Abstract

This study empirically examines the effectiveness of an integrated empowerment program that combines halal certification assistance and creative packaging design to enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs in the religious tourism area of the Great Mosque of Demak, Central Java. Using an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the program involved participatory asset mapping, facilitation of halal certification in collaboration with BPJPH and a local Islamic higher education institution, Islamic-themed packaging design training, and sharia-compliant digital marketing assistance. A descriptive–evaluative design was employed with quantitative and qualitative data collected before and after the intervention. The results show that all 15 MSMEs obtained halal certification, adopted redesigned packaging that reflects local Islamic identity, and achieved an average sales increase of about 52% within three months. Qualitative evidence indicates improved halal literacy, stronger product identity, and greater market confidence. The study concludes that integrating halal certification and packaging innovation through an asset-based approach can effectively strengthen MSME competitiveness in religious tourism destinations.
