INTRODUCTION
The development and advancement of technology has changed the way we interact and Learning media plays an important role in facilitating the use of technology in Each learner has a variety of styles, learning patterns, and the ability to understand different materials.
The curriculum as a standard for implementing learning activities in its application is adjusted to changing times to improve the quality of education in Indonesia (Hendra et al.
, 2.
The quality of education in Indonesia continues to experience development and reform as evidenced by the use of varied learning Learning that is carried out monotonously makes students bored and student understanding of the material provided is not maximized.
Innovation in learning is needed to reduce the potential for learning loss of the learning material presented (Ekaputra & Sanova, 2.
The application of learning media in learning activities can help students in learning a material by adjusting the methods and individual needs of each student.
using media, learning can be more interesting and interactive, increase student engagement, and increase student understanding of the material being taught.
In addition, the use of learning media can make learning more meaningful because it allows students to better understand the concepts, principles, and procedures taught (Ekaputra & Hasanah.
Based on observations in the field, the use of game-based learning media in evaluating student learning outcomes is rarely used in learning.
The lack of utilization of varied 1328 | The Use of Quizwhizzer Application to Improve Learning Outcomes to Reduce Potential Student Learning Loss (Firdiawan Ekaputr.
Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 learning media, especially game-based, makes students bored and learning is monotonous.
The tendency of students to memorize lecture material in facing the mid and final semester exams without understanding and developing the knowledge gained makes learning less meaningful, the level of student understanding of the learning material becomes less This is in accordance with the opinion of Ekaputra .
which states that using learning media makes students more interested in learning, allows adjustment of individual learning styles, and allows two-way learning.
The use of learning media based on question exercises can assist lecturers in knowing the level of student understanding quickly, so that lecturers can evaluate at that time without having to wait for the end of the According to Sanova et al.
the use of open course applications makes it easier for lecturers to manage activities, manage grades, and make discussion activities more interactive.
Therefore, the purpose of this research is to use learning media such as quizwhizzer applications into lecture activities.
Quizwhizzer is an application used as a game-based learning tool with multiplayer activities to the classroom that makes learning more interactive and fun (Agustiningsih et , 2.
Quizwhizzer media can be operated using gadgets, making it easier to use and suitable for someone with a visual learning style involving the sense of sight to capture the material presented (Andriani et al.
, 2.
The Quizwhizzer application which is a gamebased media that can make students easy to learn and understand material, so as to improve learning outcomes (Ismail et al.
, 2.
Student-centered learning provides opportunities for students to be directly involved in university activities, thus increasing critical thinking skills (Ekaputra, 2.
The quizwhizzer application, which is able to present material and exercises in an interesting and interactive way in the form of a game, is expected to increase student motivation to learn and understanding of the material provided.
This research focuses on the application of the quizwhizzer application in reducing the potential for learning loss in lecture activities and improving student learning outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to determine .
the effect of quizwhizzer application on reducing the potential for student learning loss .
the effect of quizwhizzer application on improving student learning RESEARCH METHOD This research is an experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design.
Students of the Chemistry Education Study Program who took the R-002 class inorganic chemistry practicum in the 2022/2023 academic year were the subjects of this study.
The independent variable in this study is the application of the quizwhizzer application, while the dependent variable is testing the potential for learning loss in lecture activities, as well as student learning outcomes after the application of the quizwhizzer application.
This research uses questionnaire method to collect data on potential learning loss, and questions to collect data on learning outcomes.
The results regarding potential learning loss and initial learning outcomes were tested for normality to ensure that the data from each dependent variable obtained from the research sample were normally distributed.
To determine whether there is a significant change in the learning outcome variable and the possibility of learning loss after the quizwhizzer application is used, the hypothesis of this study is paired samples t The existence of significant changes in the variables of learning outcomes and potential learning loss after the application of quizwhizzer application is indicated by significant results that are less than 0.
