In the 21st century, the use of innovative and digital-based teaching media are required. This research aimed at examining the effect of gamification based on local stories as teaching media on fifth grade elementary school students’ motivation. Quasi experimental with one group pre-test post-test design was implemented. The study was conducted at SD N 1 Penarukan where 25 of fifth grade students in academic year 2019/2020 were involved as the sample of study. Three instruments were administered to collect the data; pre-test post-test, treatment instrument and interview. The result showed that post-test mean score has significantly improved compared to pre-test score (42.29 > 23.35). Hypothesis testing result (paired sample t-test) showed the tobs value was higher than tcv (20.811>1.677) with α = 0.05, which indicated that gamification positively affected students’ motivation. The interview result revealed that the students are highly motivated to learn by using gamification.

Penelitian saat ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki pengaruh penilaian portofolio pada keterampilan menulis siswa selama pembelajaran daring. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen yang dilakukan di salah satu SMP swasta terpilih di Denpasar. Ada 32 siswa yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Melalui desain pretest dan posttest, siswa diperkenalkan dan diajarkan dengan penilaian portofolio. Hasil penelitian menegaskan bahwa nilai pretest siswa adalah 73,90 dan nilai posttest adalah 76,75. Uji-t sampel berpasangan yang dilakukan mengkonfirmasi bahwa perbedaan rata-rata antara pretest dan posttest adalah signifikan. Tes ukuran efek juga menegaskan bahwa perbedaan rata-rata pretest dan posttest adalah besar. Oleh karena itu, penilaian portofolio didorong untuk diterapkan di kelas dalam mendukung proses menulis siswa selama pembelajaran daring.
