Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes student-centered learning and the integration of digital media. However, empirical investigations focusing specifically on IMLO Biology media and its impact on students’ learning motivation are still scarce. This lack of evidence creates a research gap regarding the effectiveness of interactive, curriculum-aligned digital tools in motivating students to learn biology. Addressing this gap is important because learning motivation plays a crucial role in achieving the competency goals outlined in the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of IMLO Biology media in enhancing students’ learning motivation. A quantitative survey design was employed with a purposive sample of 60 eleventh-grade science students from two public upper secondary schools in South Rantau, North Sumatra, during the 2024-2025 academic year. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, then analyzed using frequency distribution. The results indicate that IMLO Biology media is effective in increasing students’ learning motivation, with an average score of 85.72%, categorized as very good. Students showed higher interest, stronger engagement, and improved comprehension of abstract biological concepts. IMLO Biology media supports the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum by offering interactive and motivating learning experiences. This study provides empirical evidence to fill the identified research gap and highlights the educational importance of integrating well-designed digital media to foster student motivation in science learning.
