Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using digital learning media with Book Creator on students’ learning interest in Indonesian language subjects at the elementary school level. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 26 students as research subjects. Data were collected through questionnaires administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the treatment and analyzed using normality tests and paired sample t-tests. The results showed that the mean score of the pretest was 74.65, while the posttest mean score increased to 103.03, indicating an improvement of 28.38 points. The normality test results indicated that the data were normally distributed, with significance values of 0.192 for the pretest and 0.291 for the posttest. Furthermore, the paired sample t-test showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of < 0.001 < 0.05, indicating a highly significant difference between pretest and posttest results. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of digital learning media using Book Creator is effective in increasing students’ learning interest in Indonesian language learning at the elementary school level.
