ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze the effect of using mobile learning applications on student motivation and achievement in the digital era. With the background of the rapid development of technology and the need for flexible learning, mobile learning applications are considered as one of the effective solutions in improving the quality of education. The research method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups of students, namely the experimental class using mobile learning applications and the control class using conventional learning methods. Learning motivation data was collected through a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, while learning achievement was measured through academic test scores. Data were analyzed using t-test and correlation to determine the difference and relationship between variables. The results showed that the use of mobile learning applications significantly increased students' learning motivation and contributed to improved academic achievement compared to traditional learning methods. This finding confirms that the integration of mobile learning technology can be an effective learning strategy in the digital era. This study provides recommendations for schools and related parties to pay attention to providing adequate infrastructure as well as training for teachers and students so that the utilization of mobile learning applications can be optimal.
ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan aplikasi mobile learning terhadap motivasi dan prestasi belajar siswa di era digital. Dengan latar belakang perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat dan kebutuhan pembelajaran yang fleksibel, aplikasi mobile learning dianggap sebagai salah satu solusi efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen semu (quasi-experimental) melibatkan dua kelompok siswa, yakni kelas eksperimen yang menggunakan aplikasi mobile learning dan kelas kontrol yang menggunakan metode pembelajaran konvensional. Data motivasi belajar dikumpulkan melalui angket yang sudah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, sedangkan prestasi belajar diukur melalui nilai tes akademik. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji t dan korelasi untuk mengetahui perbedaan dan hubungan antara variabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan aplikasi mobile learning secara signifikan meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa dan berkontribusi pada peningkatan prestasi akademik dibandingkan dengan metode pembelajaran tradisional. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa integrasi teknologi mobile learning dapat menjadi strategi pembelajaran yang efektif di era digital. Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi agar sekolah dan pihak terkait memperhatikan penyediaan infrastruktur yang memadai serta pelatihan bagi guru dan siswa agar pemanfaatan aplikasi mobile learning dapat optimal.
