Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Interaktif Berbasis Platform Game Blooket terhadap Hasil Belajar Akidah Akhlak Siswa Kelas XI MAN 2 Bukittinggi The Effect of Using Blooket Game Platform-Based Interactive Learning Media on the Aqidah Akhlaq Learning Outcomes of Grade XI Students at MAN 2 Bukittinggi

Abstract

Although the use of game-based digital learning media has received attention in various studies, research on the use of the Blooket platform in Akidah Akhlak instruction at the madrasah aliyah level remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the effect of using Blooket game-based interactive learning media on the Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes of Grade XI students at MAN 2 Bukittinggi. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 71 students, comprising 36 students from Grade XI D4 as the experimental group and 35 students from Grade XI D2 as the control group, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, learning achievement tests, and documentation. After the validity and reliability of the test instrument were assessed, the data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, an independent-samples t-test, and N-gain analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 27. The results of the independent-samples t-test showed a significance value of 0.009 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups. Thus, the use of Blooket had a significant effect on students’ Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes. These findings provide empirical evidence of the potential of game-based learning media to support Akidah Akhlak instruction and confirm that Blooket can be used as an alternative digital learning medium by considering device readiness, internet availability, and students’ ability to operate the platform.
