THE EFFECT OF USING ROTI MEDIA (INTERACTIVE SPINNING WHEEL) ON ENERGY FORM CHANGES MATERIAL TO IMPROVE LEARNING INTEREST OF FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS AT SDIT ABFA PAMEKASAN

Abstract

This study aims to; (1) determine the effect of using ROTI (Interactive Spinning Wheel) media on increasing the interest in learning of 4th grade students on the material of energy changes in SDIT ABFA Pamekasan and (2) analyze the magnitude of the resulting effect. The research method used is pre-experimental with One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research population was all 36 4th grade students, with a sampling technique using saturated samples where the entire population was sampled. The research instruments included a learning interest questionnaire and a media usage questionnaire that had been tested for content validity through expert judgment, empirical validity (r-count > r-table), and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.884 for learning interest and 0.923 for media usage). The results of the study showed that: (1) there was a significant increase in learning interest after using ROTI media with a Sig. (2-tailed) paired sample t-test of 0.000 and an increase in the average score of 4.194; and (2) ROTI media contributed 55.3% to increasing students' learning interest, with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.743, which is considered strong. These findings confirm that ROTI media is effective as an interactive learning medium for increasing elementary school students' learning interest.
