Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interest and perceptions of teacher welfare among 52 respondents. Quantitative analysis revealed that 69.2% of respondents are highly interested in becoming teachers, while 30.8% are moderately interested. These findings reflect a strong commitment from the younger generation toward the teaching profession, despite significant concerns about financial welfare. Qualitative analysis identified two main themes: financial welfare and personal motivation. Many respondents felt that the salary they receive is not proportional to the responsibilities they bear, while intrinsic motivation, such as a desire to contribute to education, serves as a major driving factor in choosing this career. This study aligns with previous findings emphasizing the importance of financial welfare in job satisfaction for teachers but also offers new insights by highlighting personal motivation as a decisive factor. The conclusion of this research suggests that greater attention to teachers' financial welfare is necessary to attract high-quality individuals to the teaching profession and to create a better learning environment. Recommendations for policymakers include increasing compensation and support for teachers while considering their intrinsic motivations.

Abstract

This study aims to implement game-based learning in the equivalency program at PKBM Al-Ikhram, focusing on the use of Wordwall game media. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through observation and interviews. The results of the study indicate that game-based learning is effective in increasing students' motivation, enthusiasm, and understanding of the material. Learning using Wordwall games not only makes the learning process more interactive and enjoyable, but also helps students improve their numeracy and literacy skills. This positive impact is seen in the increase in student learning outcomes in formative and summative tests. However, this implementation faces challenges such as limited access to technology and the need for training for students and teachers. Overall, game-based learning is a relevant and effective alternative in improving the quality of non-formal education in equivalency programs in the digital era.
