Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of teachers in using interactive digital media to enhance students' motivation and engagement at MI Al-Mahbubiyah Kembangbilo Tuban. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, and data collection methods included documentation, semi-structured interviews, and observation. The primary informants of this study were third-grade students. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the role of teachers, the utilization of interactive digital media, and its impact on learning. Digital media such as Wordwall, Quizizz, YouTube, and other digital quizzes were used, each tailored to the learning objectives and students' characteristics. The study shows that the use of interactive digital media can make learning more engaging, interactive, and enjoyable, resulting in students being more motivated and more involved. Students feel more motivated, more engaged in the learning process, and find it easier to understand the material thanks to interactive activities and visual and audio presentations. The use of digital media also facilitates teachers in evaluating the learning process more effectively by providing immediate feedback to students through digital quizzes. However, there are still some challenges in its implementation. These include limited school facilities, lack of supporting devices, and inadequate internet connectivity. Therefore, in order for digital-based learning to be carried out optimally and sustainably, support is needed in the form of facilities and infrastructure as well as enhancing teachers' capabilities in digital technology. Keywords: interactive digital media, learning motivation, and student participation.
