The problem addressed in this research is the low learning motivation of students, as indicated by the initial pretest average score of 78.5%, which did not meet the classical mastery standard. This study employed a quantitative approach using a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 12 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through pretest, posttest, and documentation, and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques by calculating the mean scores and comparing the results before and after treatment. The findings show a significant increase in students’ learning motivation after the application of the role-playing method. The posttest average score increased to 87.5%, surpassing the classical mastery criteria of 85%. In addition, all students achieved individual mastery, with a notable shift in the distribution of learning motivation categories from lower to higher levels. These results indicate that role-playing is an effective learning strategy to enhance students’ learning motivation and understanding of Pancasila values through active participation and experiential learning. This study contributes to strengthening learning practices that emphasize student engagement and character development in elementary schools.
