PENGGUNAAN MEDIA CANVA DALAM MENUMBUHKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA DI SMK PGRI 5 JEMBER

Abstract

The use of Canva in learning has been widely studied as a medium that can improve students’ interest and learning motivation. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the influence or effectiveness of Canva, while studies describing teachers’ and students’ experiences in using Canva from the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages, particularly at the vocational high school level, remain limited. This study aims to describe the use of Canva as a learning medium to foster students’ learning motivation. This study employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological research design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were then analyzed phenomenologically to identify the experiences, meanings, and understandings of the participants regarding the phenomenon under study. The findings show that Canva was planned by considering learning objectives, material characteristics, students’ needs, available time, and school facilities. In its implementation, Canva helped create more engaging and varied learning materials, encouraging students’ attention, interest, activeness, and involvement. Evaluation was conducted through observing students’ responses, question-and-answer activities, quizzes, and media improvement. The novelty of this study lies in describing teachers’ and students’ experiences phenomenologically and revealing that learning motivation through Canva develops through students’ attention, interest, involvement, and responses. Thus, Canva can serve as a supporting medium for fostering students’ learning motivation when used contextually and integrated with appropriate teaching strategies.
