Abstract

The low interest of students in learning Biology and the use of less attractive learning media form the background of this study. This study aims to determine the influence of using Quizizz media on the learning interest of Grade X students at MA YPKS Padangsidimpuan. The research method used is quantitative, with an experimental design: a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population as well as the sample of this study, involved 27 students of Grade X, determined through the total sampling technique. Data collection on learning interest was carried out using a questionnaire instrument, while data on media implementation were collected through observation sheets. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the implementation of Quizizz media was in the "Excellent" category with an average score of 86.87. After the implementation of the media, the average score of students' learning interest increased significantly from 71.74 (pretest) to 91.07 (posttest). Based on the hypothesis testing using the Paired Samples t-Test, the obtained value of t _count > t_table was 27.225 > 2.060 with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Thus, H₀ is rejected, and H_a is accepted, which means there is a positive and significant influence of using Quizizz media on students' interest in learning biology. This media is recommended as a digital innovation to create interactive and enjoyable learning.
