Transformation of Wordwall-based Indonesian learning evaluation

Abstract

Digital transformation in education has had a significant impact on learning evaluation methods, including at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) level. This study aims to analyze the utilization of the Wordwall platform in evaluating Indonesian language learning at MI Hidayatul Mubtadiin Wates, Sumbergempol Tulungagung. This research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative approach. The data collection techniques were observation, interview, and documentation. The research subjects were 2 grade II teachers and the Head of Curriculum of MI Hidayatul Mubtadiin Wates, Sumbergempol Tulungagung. Data validity is strengthened by the application of triangulation techniques, which include source triangulation by comparing data from teachers, students, and curriculum waka; triangulation of methods that compare interview results with observation and documentation data; and extension of observation time to obtain a more comprehensive picture of student behavior during evaluation. The collected data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively with three main stages: (1) data reduction (2) presentation and (3) conclusion drawing. The results showed that the use of Wordwall was able to increase students' engagement, motivation, and understanding through interactive activities such as quizzes and educational games. In addition, teacher collaboration in designing evaluation supports constructive and participatory learning. However, challenges such as limited devices and digital literacy remain. Madrasahs develop adaptive strategies such as digital literacy training and partnership with internet service providers. This research enriches the discourse on educational technology in a rural-based madrasah environment and emphasizes the importance of a contextual approach in implementing Wordwall based digital evaluation.
