PENERAPAN ASESMEN FORMATIF DIGITAL BERBASIS GAMIFIKASI ZEP QUIZ PADA MATERI LITERASI FINANSIAL KELAS IX SMPN 1 CILIMUS

Abstract

Conventional classroom practices require the use of digital, gamified assessment tools such as Zep Quiz to enhance students’ motivation and the accuracy of learning evaluation. This study focuses on examining the effectiveness of the Zep Quiz digital assessment in improving students’ motivation and the quality of evaluation in financial literacy learning. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study design through observations, interviews, documentation, interactive data analysis, and three procedural stages: preparation, implementation, and reporting. The findings indicate that formative assessment supported by gamification through Zep Quiz increases students’ engagement, motivation, and the quality of feedback in financial literacy learning at SMPN 1 Cilimus. Students actively participated in the assessment, understood their errors more quickly through instant feedback, and showed strong enthusiasm due to game elements such as points and leaderboards. Teachers obtained real-time learning achievement data that enabled them to adjust instruction based on students’ needs. From a gamification perspective, Zep Quiz stimulates both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation through challenges, competition, and digital rewards. Using Rogers’ diffusion of innovation framework, the adoption process of Zep Quiz is reflected in the stages of knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation experienced by teachers and students. Nevertheless, the study also identifies challenges related to network stability, technical readiness, and students’ varying digital abilities. Overall, Zep Quiz is considered effective as an engaging, adaptive, and relevant formative digital assessment tool for enhancing students’ financial literacy understanding in social studies learning
