The Influence of Mathematics Game-Based Learning on Elementary School Students’ Learning Motivation : A Literature Review

Aslama Amalia, Candra Utama

Abstract


Math as a subject is often considered difficult and boring. This can be influenced by learning motivation, where motivation is a key aspect that determines success in understanding mathematical concepts from an early age. This study aims to examine the influence of Mathematics Game Based Learning on the learning motivation of elementary school students through a systematic review of ten relevant research articles. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with a qualitative descriptive approach through a selection of articles from Google Scholar published between 2021–2024. The selected articles were reviewed based on inclusion criteria, research focus, and relevance to the research objectives. The analysis was carried out thematically on 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study showed that educational games such as snakes and ladders, Kahoot!, Wordwall, and popular adaptation games were able to create a fun learning atmosphere and increase students' active participation. In addition, it was found that the attractive game design and the role of the teacher as a facilitator greatly influenced the effectiveness of the game in building learning motivation. The conclusion of this study confirms that Mathematics Game Based Learning is a potential approach to increase student motivation in mathematics learning in elementary school.
