Abstract


Digital learning innovation is increasingly needed to create interactive science learning that suits students’ characteristics, particularly on natural disaster material in elementary school. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Quizizz interactive media as a digital learning innovation in improving grade 5 students’ understanding of natural disaster material. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 30 grade V students of SDN Sawojajar 6, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item understanding test administered as a pretest before and a posttest after learning with Quizizz, then analyzed through normality testing, a paired sample t-test, and an N-Gain Score analysis. The results showed the data were normally distributed, and the paired sample t-test obtained a significance value of .000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. The N-Gain analysis produced an average score of 0.6179 or 61.79%, categorized as medium and fairly effective. These findings indicate that Quizizz interactive media is fairly effective in enhancing elementary school students’ understanding of natural disaster material.
