The effectiveness of audio-visual media in increasing elementary school students’ learning motivation

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of audiovisual media in enhancing elementary school students’ learning motivation. The study is motivated by conventional teaching methods, which tend to be monotonous and may reduce students’ interest and engagement in the learning process. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the library research method by reviewing relevant scientific journals and references. The findings indicate that audiovisual media contributes to enhancing learning motivation through the combination of visual and audio elements, making learning more engaging, concrete, and easier to understand. The use of audiovisual media can also improve students’ participation, concentration, and active involvement during the learning process. Furthermore, student learning mastery was reported to increase from 40.9% to 81.8% following the use of audiovisual media. This media also has the potential to create an enjoyable learning environment and reduce student boredom. Therefore, audiovisual media can serve as an alternative to support increased learning motivation and improve the quality of education in elementary schools.
