Utilization of Digital Features to Increase Student Learning Engagement in Madrasah Tsanawiyah

Abstract

This study aims to explore the use of digital features to increase student learning engagement in a madrasa environment. The background of the study is based on the low level of active student participation in conventional learning and the potential of digital technology as an interactive tool that encourages active learning and motivation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation of teachers and students who actively use digital media. The results of the study show two main findings: increased student interactivity in the learning process and increased learning motivation due to enjoyable digital experiences. Features such as interactive quizzes, point systems, online discussions, and visual displays have been shown to create a more lively and competitive learning atmosphere. These findings align with theories of learning engagement and intrinsic motivation and provide a significant contribution to technology-based learning strategies. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating digital features as a primary requirement in creating adaptive, participatory, and meaningful learning in the digital era.
