ABSTRACT
The low level of students’ interest in Science (IPA) subjects at the elementary school level highlights the need for engaging and meaningful learning approaches. This article presents a theoretical analysis of the relationship between the implementation of the joyful learning approach and the enhancement of students’ learning interest in Science education at elementary schools. The study employed a library research method by reviewing various scholarly sources, including reference books, conference proceedings, and national as well as international journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. The literature was collected from academic databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, and ResearchGate, and analyzed using content analysis to interpret relevant educational theories, particularly the Self-Determination Theory and Constructivism. The results indicate that a positive, enjoyable, and interactive learning atmosphere can foster intrinsic motivation, stimulate curiosity, and strengthen students’ active participation in Science learning activities. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of joyful learning has a positive impact on increasing elementary students’ learning interest and underscores the crucial role of teachers in designing creative and developmentally appropriate learning strategies.
ABSTRAK
Rendahnya minat belajar siswa terhadap mata pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA) di sekolah dasar mendorong perlunya penerapan pendekatan pembelajaran yang lebih menarik dan bermakna. Artikel ini menyajikan kajian teoritis mengenai hubungan antara penerapan pendekatan joyful learning dan peningkatan minat belajar siswa dalam pembelajaran IPA di tingkat sekolah dasar. Kajian ini dilakukan melalui metode studi kepustakaan dengan menelaah berbagai sumber ilmiah, seperti buku referensi, prosiding, dan artikel jurnal nasional maupun internasional yang diterbitkan dalam kurun waktu 2015–2025. Data diperoleh dari basis akademik seperti Google Scholar, ERIC, dan ResearchGate, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan metode content analysis dengan menafsirkan teori-teori relevan, terutama Self-Determination Theory dan teori konstruktivisme. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa suasana belajar yang menyenangkan, interaktif, dan positif mampu meningkatkan motivasi intrinsik, menumbuhkan rasa ingin tahu, serta memperkuat keterlibatan aktif siswa dalam kegiatan pembelajaran IPA. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan pendekatan joyful learning berpengaruh positif terhadap peningkatan minat belajar siswa sekolah dasar dan menegaskan pentingnya kreativitas guru dalam merancang strategi pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan karakteristik perkembangan peserta didik.
