ABSTRACT
Student engagement in accounting education involves more than paying attention to instructional content; it also requires opportunities to participate in learning activities that demand understanding and accuracy. This need is particularly relevant to the teaching of Special Journals in Grade XI Accounting and Institutional Finance (AKL) at SMK Negeri Jatirogo. This study examined Wordwall as an instructional medium that could provide a more interactive learning experience while supporting students’ academic achievement. A quasi-experimental approach was employed using a non-equivalent control group design involving experimental and control groups. The sample was selected through purposive sampling and cluster random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, pre-tests and post-tests, observations, and documentation. The analysis involved normality and homogeneity tests, an independent samples t-test, and N-Gain calculations. The comparison revealed a significant difference in learning engagement between the groups (t = 16.871; p < 0.001), with a mean score of 68.69 in the experimental group and 51.28 in the control group. A significant difference was also identified in learning outcomes (t = 7.869; p < 0.001). The N-Gain results indicated an improvement of 68.83% in the experimental group, categorized as moderately effective, compared with 40.38% in the control group, categorized as less effective. These findings suggest that Wordwall has the potential to strengthen student engagement and academic achievement through participatory learning activities. Therefore, it can serve as an alternative instructional medium for creating more varied accounting lessons.
ABSTRAK
Keterlibatan siswa dalam pembelajaran akuntansi tidak hanya berkaitan dengan perhatian terhadap materi, tetapi juga dengan kesempatan untuk berpartisipasi dalam aktivitas yang menuntut pemahaman dan ketelitian. Kebutuhan tersebut menjadi perhatian dalam pembelajaran Jurnal Khusus di kelas XI AKL SMK Negeri Jatirogo. Penggunaan Wordwall dikaji sebagai media yang dapat menghadirkan pengalaman belajar lebih interaktif sekaligus mendukung pencapaian akademik siswa. Kajian ini melibatkan kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol melalui pendekatan quasi-experiment dengan rancangan non-equivalent control group design. Sampel ditentukan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dan cluster random sampling. Informasi penelitian diperoleh melalui angket, tes awal dan akhir, observasi, serta dokumentasi. Data selanjutnya dianalisis melalui uji normalitas, homogenitas, independent samples t-test, dan N-Gain. Perbandingan antarkelompok memperlihatkan perbedaan learning engagement yang signifikan (t = 16,871; p < 0,001), dengan rata-rata 68,69 pada kelompok eksperimen dan 51,28 pada kelompok kontrol. Pola serupa ditemukan pada hasil belajar (t = 7,869; p < 0,001). Perhitungan N-Gain menunjukkan peningkatan sebesar 68,83% pada kelompok eksperimen dengan kategori cukup efektif, sedangkan kelompok kontrol mencapai 40,38% dengan kategori kurang efektif. Temuan ini memperlihatkan bahwa Wordwall berpotensi memperkuat keterlibatan sekaligus pencapaian belajar melalui aktivitas yang partisipatif. Media tersebut dapat menjadi alternatif pendukung pembelajaran akuntansi yang lebih variatif.
