Introduction Education is one of the main pillars in developing high-quality human resources.
In the world of education, student engagement in the learning process is one of the key indicators of the success of a teaching method.
Student activity not only reflects their involvement in the learning process, but also indicates their level of understanding, interest, and motivation in absorbing knowledge.
Students who are actively engaged in learning tend to have better understanding, the ability to think critically, and are more capable of solving problems effectively.
However, the reality in the field shows that many students still experience difficulties in maintaining their engagement during the learning process.
Factors such as monotonous teaching methods, lack of interaction between teachers and students, and limited variation in material delivery often lead to a decline in students' learning This condition is particularly evident in the subject of Fiqh, which is often perceived as a theoretical and less interesting subject by most students.
Fiqh is one of the important subjects in Islamic education that aims to provide understanding regarding Islamic laws related to daily life.
Although it has a significant role in shaping studentsAo character and behavior, in practice, this subject is often less favored by students.
Many students perceive Fiqh as a boring subject due to the fact that it is usually delivered in a lecture-based manner and lacks active interaction.
In such conditions, innovation in learning strategies is needed to enhance student engagement and to make Fiqh learning more appealing and effective.

This study aimed to determine the influence of using the Quizizz application on student engagement in the Fiqh subject at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Surakarta.
Based on the data collected through observation and questionnaires, it was found that the use of Quizizz had a significant impact in increasing student engagement compared to conventional teaching methods.
Observational results showed that the average level of student engagement in the experimental group reached 69%, while in the control group it was only 34%.
This difference indicates that learning methods with a gamification approach through Quizizz were able to create a more interesting, participatory, and interactive learning environment.
Analysis by Engagement Aspects: Student engagement was analyzed based on five main indicators, as follows:
Visual Aspect .
%) The visual design presented in the Quizizz application was proven to increase studentsAo attention.
The materials were displayed in the form of interactive quizzes with bright colors, animated icons, and countdown timers, which made students focus and feel motivated to pay attention to each question.
The use of strong visual elements aligns with MayerAos .
multimedia learning theory, which states that the combination of words and images can significantly enhance cognitive processing.
Listening Aspect .
%) Students' listening ability also improved, as shown by their attention when the teacher explained the correct answers after the quiz session.
This demonstrated that digital-based learning not only facilitated one-way interaction but also strengthened teacher-student interaction.
Verbal Aspect .
%) Students became more active in discussions and in answering questions verbally, either spontaneously or when asked by the teacher.
Increased verbal participation indicated that learning with Quizizz encouraged students to express their opinions, demonstrate understanding, and gain confidence in articulating arguments.
Writing Aspect .

Although writing activity was not dominant, it was still evident, particularly when students recorded scores, incorrect answers, or key points from discussions.
Some students even rewrote questions and explanations as a form of independent reflection.
This showed that the evaluative process in Quizizz could trigger continuous learning Motor Aspect .
%) Motor engagement was observed when students interacted with digital devices by typing, selecting answers, or moving around to discuss with peers.
This physical activity contrasted with the control group, where students remained mostly passive, only listening without significant physical engagement.
Active Learning through Gamification Quizizz integrates the principles of gamification, namely the application of game elements in learning to create a more engaging and enjoyable experience.
In this context, features such as scores, rankings, countdown timers, and interactive displays play an important role in fostering healthy competition among students.
This environment drives active participation as students feel challenged to achieve their best Additionally, the instant feedback provided after each question enables students to understand how well they grasped the material, while also motivating them to make Visually presented achievements also give a positive psychological boost that can increase self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
Real-time scoring displays, leaderboards, and digital rewards such as medals or badges encourage students to stay focused and competitive.
This becomes an effective form of positive reinforcement, where students feel appreciated for their efforts, not just for the Qualitative Findings and Field Observations Informal interviews with Fiqh teachers revealed that using Quizizz created a more dynamic classroom atmosphere.
Students appeared more active, asked more questions, and even previously passive students became more engaged.
Teachers also noted that This is an open acces article under the CC-BY-SA lisence .

These findings confirm that the use of Quizizz has a positive effect on increasing student engagement in Fiqh learning.
Theoretical Relevance The results of this study are supported by constructivist learning theory, which states that meaningful learning occurs when students actively construct knowledge through experience.
Quizizz encourages students to engage in the learning process directly, understand concepts through quiz challenges, and integrate knowledge through discussions after the quizzes.
This study also supports the 21st-century learning framework, which emphasizes the development of 4C skills: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and Quizizz promotes quick thinking, creative problem-solving, and active communication with both teachers and peers.
Challenges and Solutions The main challenges found were the limited availability of devices and unequal internet connectivity.
To overcome this, teachers provided school Wi-Fi access and arranged for device loans for students in need.
