Development of Android-Based Barcode Scan Learning Media to Enhance Student Learning Motivation in Subjects IPS

Abstract

Social studies subjects include various descriptions, narratives, and concepts, so teachers need good explanation skills. The lecture method is often used in learning, but this approach causes many students to feel bored and unmotivated because the material presented is textual and less related to real situations. The use of technology in education is a solution to increase student learning motivation. In this digital era, smartphone use is increasingly widespread, so Android-based applications can help the learning process become more interactive and enjoyable. One effective media is the barcode scanning application, which allows students to access additional information effectively and efficiently. This media presents more varied learning materials, making it more interesting and increasing students' interest in social studies. The study showed that barcode scanning media received a positive response from students. They were more involved in learning, and their learning outcomes improved. Before using the media, the average student score was 72.6, with 12 students getting a C and 13 getting a B. After implementing this media, there was an increase, with 14 getting a B and 11 getting an A, and the average score rose to 89.08.
