Analysis of Students’ Learning Interest in Mathematics on Integer Numbers Material Using the Quizizz Application

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the level of students’ learning interest in Class VIIE of MTsN 2 Konawe on integer material before and after using the Quizizz application, and to determine whether its use increased student engagement. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted at MTsN 2 Konawe. Subjects were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of one student with high, one with moderate, and one with low learning interest. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, and analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ learning interest after the integration of Quizizz into mathematics learning. Before using Quizizz, 50% of students were in the moderate interest category, 26.66% in the high category, and the rest in the low category. After the implementation, the proportion of students with high learning interest increased to 76.66%, while moderate and low interest decreased to 16.66% and 6.6%, respectively. These results demonstrate that Quizizz effectively enhances students’ enthusiasm and participation in mathematics learning by making lessons more interactive and enjoyable. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers incorporate technology-based applications like Quizizz alongside conventional teaching methods to foster greater engagement and improve learning outcomes. Integrating digital tools within mathematics instruction can create more meaningful, motivating, and effective learning experiences for students.
