Merdeka Curriculum, Digitalization of education, WordwallAbstract
One of the main programs emphasized in the Merdeka Curriculum is the digitalization of education, which offers broad opportunities to create more interactive and engaging learning environments. The current educational paradigm places students at the center of the learning process, recognizing them as individuals with the potential to actively seek, construct, and develop knowledge. Learning is no longer limited to information delivered by teachers; instead, teachers are expected to design student-centered instruction that accommodates students’ needs and fosters deeper conceptual understanding. However, preliminary observations show that many teachers still rely on monotonous and traditional instructional media, which do not fully support educational digitalization or provide meaningful learning experiences. The use of WordWall in science learning, particularly in understanding the effects of forces on objects, offers an innovative alternative. This study, conducted at SD Negeri Sedati Agung, aimed to examine the impact of WordWall on students’ conceptual understanding. The findings indicate that WordWall significantly enhances students’ understanding by facilitating relevant, interactive, and enjoyable learning activities, while also supporting effective classroom management. Therefore, integrating WordWall into classroom instruction is strongly recommended to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.
