This study aims to analyze the effect of the application of the Game Based Learning model on students' learning motivation in the subject of Science in class IV UPT SDN Manuruki, Makassar City. This study was motivated by the low level of student learning motivation during the learning process. An alternative learning model that can be used to improve student learning motivation is the Game Based Learning model. The data in this study were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques and SPSS 26 statistical analysis. The results showed a significant increase in student learning motivation after the application of the Game Based Learning model, with an average post-test score reaching 85.65%. The hypothesis test produced a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05, so H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the Game Based Learning model has a significant effect on student learning motivation. These findings indicate that game-based learning is able to create a more interesting and interactive learning experience, as well as encourage active student participation in the learning process. This research contributes to the development of innovative learning strategies that are relevant to be implemented in elementary schools, especially in increasing learning motivation in science subjects.
