THE APPLICATION OF A GAMILAB-BASED GAME-BASED LEARNING MODEL TO IMPROVE MOTIVATION AND LEARNING OUTCOMES AMONG 10TH-GRADE STUDENTS IN THE TSM 1 PROGRAM AT SMKN 2 SURABAYA

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low learning motivation and academic achievement of students in Class X TSM 1 at SMKN 2 Surabaya. The objective of this study was to improve learning motivation and academic achievement through a Game Based Learning model using Gamilab. A two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) method was employed, with data collection techniques including observation, achievement tests, learning motivation questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the N-Gain test. Students’ learning motivation increased from 77% in Cycle I to 95% in Cycle II. Learning outcomes improved from a pre-test average score of 50.40 to 79.69 on the Cycle I post-test, and reached 94 on the Cycle II post-test. Classical mastery increased from 13% in the pre-cycle to 71% in Cycle I, and further increased to 95% in Cycle II, supported by an average N-Gain test score of 0.856, which falls into the “very high” category. It can be concluded that the implementation of the Gamilab based Game Based Learning model was effective in improving student motivation and learning outcomes in Class X TSM 1 at SMKN 2 Surabaya.
