Implementasi Media Puzzle Pecahan dalam Pembelajaran Matematika dan Dampaknya Terhadap Motivasi Belajar Siswa

Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of fraction puzzle media in mathematics learning and understand how the media affects the learning motivation of elementary school students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the fraction puzzle media is implemented through manipulative activities, educational games, and group discussions that allow students to actively interact with the concept of fractions. The teacher acts as a facilitator who provides guidance, direction, and reinforcement during the learning process. The research findings indicate that the use of fraction puzzle media can increase student learning motivation, which is characterized by increased enthusiasm, involvement, curiosity, and courage in completing fraction tasks. In addition, the use of puzzle media makes the learning atmosphere more enjoyable and helps students understand the concept of fractions concretely. Thus, the fraction puzzle media is proven to be an effective learning alternative in increasing the motivation to learn mathematics in elementary school students.
