Technology-based learning media have now become a primary choice in supporting the learning process in elementary schools, in line with the development of the digital era and the growing demand for more innovative learning approaches. The utilization of technology in education is expected to enhance the quality of teaching and learning processes and encourage active student engagement. One technology-based learning medium considered effective and engaging is BrainPOP, a digital learning platform that presents educational content through interactive animated videos, quizzes, simulations, and various supporting activities designed to suit the characteristics of elementary school students. The selection of BrainPOP is based on its advantages in increasing students’ learning interest, facilitating the understanding of abstract concepts by making them more concrete, and enhancing students’ motivation and retention of learning materials. The visual, communicative, and interactive presentation of content enables students to learn in a more enjoyable and less monotonous manner. This medium is capable of creating an engaging, effective, and student-centered learning atmosphere, thereby fostering an active, creative, and enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, the use of BrainPOP in the learning process is expected not only to improve students’ learning outcomes but also to optimally and sustainably develop their interest, motivation, and engagement in learning.

Learning media are physical tools that deliver information or learning materials to students. Educational videos have become one of the aids used in teaching and learning activities. These videos can support the learning process by conveying materials through the use of technology. Therefore, the researcher was interested in developing a medium that can be both heard and seen by students to help them better understand the subject matter. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Borg & Gall development model, which consists of ten development steps. The development process included initial information gathering, planning, initial product development, expert validation tests, initial product revisions, small-scale testing, second product revisions, large-scale field testing, final product refinement, and product dissemination. The results showed that the validity test of the learning media yielded a percentage of 94% from media experts, 96% from subject matter experts, 94% from language experts, and 94% from teachers. Meanwhile, the product effectiveness test using a Paired Sample T-Test showed a significance value of 0.000, which is lower than the threshold of 0.05. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted, proving a significant difference in student learning outcomes before and after using the educational video. Therefore, it can be concluded that the educational video on "Human Needs and Resource Scarcity" for Grade VII Social Studies is valid according to experts and effective in improving student learning outcomes.

This study aims to examine the effect of the use of the Kahoot application in teaching materials for reading numerical texts on students' understanding and ability to solve problems related to the material. The research design used was an experiment with a quantitative approach, with a pre-test post-test control group model. The research sample consisted of two classes of junior high school grade VII students, each of which was given different treatment, namely the use of the Kahoot application in the experimental group and the conventional method in the control group. The results showed that the use of the Kahoot app could improve students' understanding of social arithmetic material, with a significant increase in scores in the experimental group (25 points) compared to the control group (8 points). In addition, the Kahoot application has also been shown to increase student motivation and participation in learning, with the majority of students feeling more interested and motivated to learn actively and collaboratively. These findings suggest that the use of the Kahoot app can be an effective tool for improving learning outcomes and student engagement in math learning.

This study aims to determine (1) the interests in the subjects DDTK of students of X TITL SMKS Raden Paku before and after the implementation of Game Based Learning with the help of the Kahoot application; (2) the learning outcomes in the subjects DDTK of the students of the X-TITL of SMKS Paku Raden before and following the application of Game based learning with the aid of the kahoot app. The design of one group pretest-posttest is the experimental methodology used in this study. The researchers involved the entire class X TITL SMKS Raden Paku as a population. Techniques to test students' interests and learning outcomes are test and lifting techniques. The results of this study showed that the interest and learning outcomes of students of X grade TITL SMKS Raden Paku before and after the treatment with Game Based Learning assisted by Kahoot increased. This is demonstrated by the pre-test averages of 48.89 and 58.30 and the posttest averaging of 84.09 and 82.50. The results of both hypothesis tests showed that the significance value was 0,000 < 0.05, which means Ha was accepted. The N-gain test of learning interest and learning outcomes indicated that the average N-gein score was 0.683 and 0.616 which meant effectiveness in the medium category. This indicates that the application of Game Based Learning with the help of Kahoot is quite effective in increasing the interests and learning outcomes in the subjects DDTK of X grade students of SMKS TITL Raden Paku.
