<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze students’ perceptions of the use of Canva as a learning medium in science subjects at SMPN SATAP 11 Tanjung Jabung Timur. The background of this research lies in the problems of science learning, which tend to be monotonous, less interactive, and unable to enhance students’ motivation and participation. This study employs a quantitative descriptive method with a questionnaire as the research instrument administered to students. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics by calculating the mean scores of each perception indicator before and after the use of Canva. The results revealed a significant difference. Before using Canva, the average perception score of students was 1.67, categorized as very poor. This indicates that students perceived science learning as ineffective, boring, and difficult to practice. After the use of Canva, the average score sharply increased to 3.39, categorized as very good. Canva has been proven to enhance learning effectiveness, support practical activities, facilitate understanding through visual, text, and audio features, and foster students’ enjoyment and learning enthusiasm. These findings highlight a novelty that Canva, commonly known as a design application, can be effectively integrated into science learning. The implications of this study suggest that teachers should continuously utilize Canva as an innovative learning medium to improve students’ motivation and learning outcomes, while further research may be conducted in other subjects and with a broader population.]]>
