This mixed-method study was motivated by the low level of students’ active participation in IPAS learning among fourth-grade students at an elementary school in Surabaya. The study aimed to analyze the effect of the ClassDojo platform on students’ active participation and learning outcomes. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. Data were collected through pretest-posttest, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the use of the ClassDojo platform had a significant effect on increasing students’ active participation, but did not show a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes. In addition, students gave positive responses because the learning process became more interesting, enjoyable, and motivating for them to participate more actively. Therefore, ClassDojo can be used as an alternative digital learning media to improve students’ active participation in IPAS learning.
