Abstract

Technological innovation has created various learning models and tools that can increase the effectiveness of the learning process. There are a wide variety of learning software and platforms designed to support teachers in their teaching process and help them create a sustainable learning environment. Research has shown that infusion of 'gamification' software can influence and improve student learning outcomes and create a positive learning environment. This article reports a survey study conducted among 32 students from 8D SMP N 36 Semarang who had experience using Kahoot! in the learning process. This study used the closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 10 statements regarding the students' perceptions for gamification approach and the use of Kahoot!. The questionnaire of the Likert Scale consists of 4 (four) alternative points, specifically: Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), and Strongly Disagree (SD). The four-choice scales were used to force respondents to choose one of the points because the points "Neutral" were not available. The results show that almost all participants have positive experiences when participating in learning process that integrates the gamification approach and Kahoot!. The majority of participants reported that they were able to be actively involved in their learning process while using Kahoot! platforms. Adaptive software and platforms like Kahoot! enable students to engage and actively participate in their learning process, and thus provide a more meaningful and rich learning experience.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve the ability of the Grade 7 students in using prepositions of place by integrating Bitmoji 3-Dimentional Avatars. The participants were 64 Grade 7 students who were officially enrolled at Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades during the second semester of the Academic Year 2022-2023. Bitmoji is a free application and a website where users can design their 3-dimensional avatars. With its features, the avatars of the students were created and incorporated into the MS PowerPoint presentation slides about prepositions of place. The data on the students’ ability in using prepositions of place were gathered using a 30-item test based on the intended competencies of English 7. To support the findings, the student’s perceptions on the avatars were also gathered through unstructured interviews and pre- and post-questionnaire. Frequency, percentage, and mean, were used to treat the data gathered. Results reveal that the students’ mean score on their pre-test is 8.5 or Below Average, while 19.50 on the post-test or Above Average. Likewise, in the test of difference, the t-value of 13.80 with a probability of .001, which is lower than the .05 level of significance, implies that there is an evident improvement in the student’s’ ability in using prepositions of place with the integrated pedagogical features of Bitmoji Avatars. Thus, the study recommends that teachers should maximize applications, such as Bitmoji, for their engaging features, which assist the students as visual learners, and foster teaching grammatical points, such as prepositions.
