KETERKAITAN PERSEPSI SISWA SMP TENTANG PEMANFAATAN WORDWALL DENGAN MINAT BELAJAR INFORMATIKA BERDASARKAN PENDEKATAN TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL (TAM)

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the relationship between students’ perceptions of Wordwall utilization and Informatics learning interest among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 25 Malang using the perspective of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study employed a quantitative ex post facto approach involving a population of 120 students and 93 respondents determined proportionally through the Slovin formula at a 5% margin of error. Data were collected through an online questionnaire measuring perceptions of the usefulness and ease of use of Wordwall, as well as learning interest encompassing enjoyment, engagement, attention, and interest. Instrument quality was examined through content and empirical validity, while internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha. After the assumptions of normality and linearity were satisfied, the relationship between the two variables was analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of r = 0.832 with p < 0.001 and R² = 0.692. These findings indicate a positive and significant relationship, with the two variables sharing 69.2% of their variation. The results suggest that how students perceive the usefulness and ease of use of the media is associated with their Informatics learning interest, without interpreting the relationship as causal.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara persepsi siswa terhadap pemanfaatan Wordwall dan minat belajar Informatika siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 25 Malang dengan menggunakan perspektif Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif ex post facto dengan melibatkan 120 siswa sebagai populasi dan 93 responden yang ditetapkan secara proporsional melalui perhitungan Slovin pada taraf kesalahan 5%. Informasi penelitian dihimpun melalui kuesioner daring yang memuat persepsi terhadap kemanfaatan dan kemudahan penggunaan Wordwall serta minat belajar yang mencakup perasaan senang, keterlibatan, perhatian, dan ketertarikan. Kelayakan instrumen ditelaah melalui validitas isi dan validitas empiris, sedangkan konsistensi internal diperiksa menggunakan Cronbach’s Alpha. Setelah prasyarat normalitas dan linearitas terpenuhi, hubungan kedua variabel dianalisis dengan korelasi Product Moment Pearson. Hasil pengujian memperoleh koefisien korelasi r = 0,832 dengan p < 0,001 dan R² = 0,692. Temuan tersebut memperlihatkan hubungan positif dan signifikan, dengan variasi bersama kedua variabel sebesar 69,2%. Hasil ini menegaskan bahwa cara siswa menilai kemanfaatan dan kemudahan media berkaitan dengan minat belajar Informatika, tanpa mengartikannya sebagai hubungan sebab-akibat.
