STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN INTERAKTIF DALAM MENINGKATKAN MINAT BELAJAR SISWA MELALUI MEDIA KAHOOT PADA MATA PELAJARAN SKI DI MTS RAUDLATUL ULUM KARANGPLOSO

Abstract

This study discusses the low learning interest of students in Islamic Cultural History (SKI) at MTs Raudlatul Ulum Karangploso, which is closely related to teacher-centered instruction and the narrative nature of historical materials. The main question addressed in this study is how interactive learning strategies using Kahoot can improve students’ learning interest in SKI. This research is positioned among previous studies on Kahoot-based learning, which generally emphasize students’ motivation, learning outcomes, or evaluation practices. Unlike those studies, this research focuses on the teacher’s pedagogical strategy in planning, implementing, and managing Kahoot as an interactive learning medium. This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through passive participant observation, semi-structured interviews with the headmaster, SKI teacher, and students, and supporting documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Kahoot encouraged students’ attention, participation, enthusiasm, and classroom interaction. The strategy also helped transform SKI learning from a monotonous activity into a more active, competitive, and enjoyable learning experience.
