This study aims to determine the effect of implementing interactive digital media in learning Aqidah Akhlak on the learning motivation of fifth-grade students at MIN 1 Bangka Tengah, Namang District, Central Bangka Regency, in the 2025/2026 academic year. This research was motivated by the low learning motivation of students in Aqidah Akhlak subjects, which tend to be abstract and conventional in their instructional methods. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two classes selected through purposive sampling, with one class assigned as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The research instrument used a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test and an N-Gain test to measure the effectiveness of the intervention.

The findings indicate that interactive digital media has a significant effect on increasing students’ learning motivation. The average motivation score of students in the experimental group significantly increased and reached a high category after being treated with animated videos, digital quizzes, moral simulations, and other interactive applications. In contrast, the control group, which used conventional teaching methods, experienced only a slight increase and remained in the medium category. The t-test results showed a significance value of less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. The N-Gain results also showed that the increase in motivation in the experimental group was in the medium-to-high category.

This study concludes that the use of interactive digital media is highly effective in improving learning motivation in Aqidah Akhlak. These findings may serve as a reference for teachers and educational institutions in optimizing digital technology to enhance the quality of Islamic religious instruction.
