Abstract

Gamified learning strategies have gained popularity in secondary education as a method to boost student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. In an era where technology and interactivity increasingly shape educational environments, gamification offers a unique approach by integrating game elements like points, badges, and leaderboards into the learning process. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of gamified learning strategies in improving academic performance, engagement, and motivation among secondary school students. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving two groups of students from three secondary schools: one utilizing a gamified learning approach and the other following traditional teaching methods. Data was collected through pre- and post-tests, engagement surveys, and interviews, allowing for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results showed that students in the gamified group demonstrated a 25% improvement in test scores and reported higher levels of engagement and motivation compared to the control group. The study concludes that gamified learning strategies can significantly enhance learning outcomes and student involvement in secondary education. These findings suggest that integrating game-based elements into curricula may create a more interactive and motivating learning environment, supporting academic growth. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of gamification and its applicability across different subjects and educational levels.

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a critical component of corporate strategy, with growing evidence suggesting its impact on financial performance and cost of capital. In Indonesia, where sustainable business practices are increasingly prioritized, understanding the relationship between CSR and cost of capital is essential for both firms and investors. This study examines the influence of CSR activities on the cost of capital for firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, focusing on how CSR initiatives affect investor perceptions and risk assessments. The research aims to provide empirical evidence on whether CSR can serve as a strategic tool to reduce the cost of capital and enhance firm value. Using a quantitative approach, this study analyzes financial data and CSR disclosures from 150 firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange over a five-year period. Regression analysis is employed to assess the relationship between CSR performance and cost of capital, measured by weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The findings reveal that firms with higher CSR performance tend to have a lower cost of capital, indicating that CSR initiatives can reduce perceived risk and attract socially responsible investors. The study concludes that CSR activities positively influence the cost of capital, providing firms with a financial incentive to invest in sustainable practices. This research contributes to the discourse on CSR and corporate finance by offering practical insights for firms seeking to enhance their financial performance through responsible business practices.
