<![CDATA[At MTs Al-Hidayah Wanti, Aqidah Akhlak instruction is mostly traditional, and student motivation to learn is relatively low. Furthermore, the Gimkit application, as an interactive learning medium, has not been utilized optimally. This study aims to determine the effect of using Gimkit on students’ learning motivation and to analyze the effectiveness of digital media in Aqidah Akhlak instruction. This research employed a quantitative, descriptive, quasi-experimental design with saturated sampling. Data acquisition encompassed Likert-scale questionnaires, observational techniques, and document examination. The ensuing data analysis utilized validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity, correlation, and t-tests. The findings indicated that, before the integration of Gimkit-based learning media, a substantial percentage of students (36.5%) showed diminished learning motivation in Aqidah Akhlak, with a mean score of 60.3. Following the implementation of Gimkit, student motivation showed an upward trajectory: the moderate category increased to 59.6%, and the mean score rose to 67.27, indicating an average improvement of 6.97 points. Correlation analysis produced an r_xy value of 0.166, surpassing the 0.05 threshold, whereas t-test results demonstrated that t_calculated (2.405) exceeded t_table (1.86), thus corroborating the rejection of the null hypothesis (H?). This platform effectively cultivates student engagement and interest in Aqidah Akhlak instruction. Consequently, the implementation of Gimkit-based learning media demonstrably elevates students' motivation to study Aqidah Akhlak in contrast to traditional pedagogical approaches. Gimkit facilitates active involvement, cultivates interest, and encourages participation, thereby reinforcing students' comprehension of the subject matter and augmenting the efficacy of Aqidah Akhlak teaching.]]>
