Gamified Formative Assessment with Quizizz to Enhance Learning Outcomes at Madrasa
This study investigates the effectiveness of gamified formative assessment using Quizizz to improve learning outcomes at a madrasah. Formative evaluation is essential to support learning engagement and achievement. This qualitative research employed a case study approach involving Grade 7 students and subject teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that Quizizz enhances student motivation and engagement, with 85% of learners reporting increased enthusiasm in classroom activities. Moreover, the average test scores improved from 70 to 82 following its implementation. While Quizizz provides advantages such as real-time feedback and interactive features, challenges such as limited internet access and inadequate devices remain. The study recommends integrating gamified tools like Quizizz into the curriculum and providing teacher training to optimize digital-based learning.
