This article explores the application of gamification in educational settings, particularly in primary schools. In today’s digital age, gamification is increasingly popular and widely applied in various sectors, including education. Gamification Refers to the application of game elements and mechanisms in non-game contexts. With great potential to improve student learning outcomes, gamification focuses specifically on motivation and engagement. Carefully designed game elements can engage students in the subject matter, encourage them to actively learn, and develop 21st century skills such as creativity, problem solving, and collaboration. However, the application of gamification must be done carefully, considering various factors such as learning objectives, student characteristics, and resource availability. Despite the challenges, gamification has great potential to change the way we interact with various systems and services. With careful planning and proper implementation, gamification can be an effective tool to improve motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. It is important to remember that gamification is not a solution to all problems in education; it should be used as an additional tool that supports quality learning. Through case studies in several elementary schools, this article shows that the use of gamification elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards can create a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Lovandri Dwanda Putra, Faqih Nur Hidayat, Iqlima Nurul Izzati, M.

The lack of understanding about religious moderation, especially in MTsS Nur Bahri, Bubun Village, Tanjung Pura District, Langkat Regency, is the reason the author raises this issue. This article aims to provide an overview of the implementation of religious moderation and how it can shape tolerant, patriot, socially concerned, and just characters. The author uses a qualitative research approach with a case study method, involving observation and discussion. Data were collected through seminars that were part of the real work lecture (KKN) activities.

Artikel ini menganalisis pengaruh teknologi terhadap pengembangan kurikulum di SD Negeri 22 Palembang, menekankan pentingnya teknologi dalam meningkatkan efektivitas dan keberlangsungan proses pembelajaran. Kurikulum berbasis teknologi dapat memungkinkan siswa memiliki akses lebih besar terhadap materi pembelajaran, meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa, dan mendukung evaluasi yang lebih efisien. Dalam artikel ini, meskipun ada banyak keuntungan dari teknologi, ada juga masalah. Salah satunya adalah bahwa siswa memiliki keterampilan teknologi yang terbatas dan bahwa sekolah di kota dan di desa tidak memiliki akses ke infrastruktur teknologi yang sama. Selain itu, ada kekhawatiran bahwa ketergantungan pada teknologi dapat mengurangi interaksi langsung antara&nbsp;siswa&nbsp;dan&nbsp;guru.</p> Dina Pallaya, Yusni Arni, Nadia Alviana, Nina Melisca, Mellita Febrina Triawanda Copyright (c) 2024 ALACRITY : Journal of Education https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://lpppipublishing.com/index.php/alacrity/article/view/483 Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Pengaruh Penggunaan Teknologi Terhadap Perkembangan Kurikulum SD Methodist 3 Palembang https://lpppipublishing.com/index.php/alacrity/article/view/484 <p>Artikel ini berjudul “Pengaruh Penggunaan Teknologi Terhadap Perkembangan Kurikulum SD Methodist 3 Palembang”.

The approach used in this research is Classroom Action Research (PTK) with a cycle model consisting of four stages: planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The subjects of this research were first grade elementary school students who had difficulty recognizing letters, reading words and simple sentences. Big Book media was chosen because of its large size and attractive illustrations, which are expected to motivate students in the process of learning to read. The research results show that the use of the Big Book significantly increases students' reading interest and ability. This can be seen from the increase in students' reading test scores in each cycle. The use of the Big Book also encourages active involvement of students and makes it easier for them to understand reading. Based on these results, Big Book media is effectively used as a means of learning to read for grade I elementary school students.</p> Faridah Hanum Copyright (c) 2024 ALACRITY : Journal of Education https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ https://lpppipublishing.com/index.php/alacrity/article/view/471 Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000
