The Application of Canva-Based Animated Video Learning Media to Increase Students' Learning Interest in History Subjects at SMA Negeri 7 Palu

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation process of Canva-based animated video learning media in History subjects and to determine students' learning interest after using the media in class XI 9 at SMA Negeri 7 Palu. This research is backgrounded by the learning process, which is still dominated by textbooks and lecture methods, rendering the learning experience monotonous and causing some students to easily feel bored and less interested in following the lessons. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with students of class XI 9 at SMA Negeri 7 Palu as subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires, while data analysis was conducted through the stages of media design and production, learning implementation, and evaluation. The use of this media is able to create learning that is more engaging, interactive, and dynamic. Students demonstrated increased attention, focus, interest, active participation, and enthusiasm during the learning process. The questionnaire results showed a positive response of 90%, consisting of 71% "Agree" and 19% "Strongly Agree" responses, while 9% chose "Disagree" and 1% "Strongly Disagree". These results indicate that the use of Canva-based animated videos can enhance students' interest, attention, focus, and engagement in learning history. Furthermore, the use of animated video media helps reduce boredom and makes it easier for students to understand the presented material. These questionnaire findings are reinforced by observation and interview results showing student enthusiasm throughout the learning process. Thus, the implementation of Canva-based animated video learning media can serve as an innovative alternative learning medium that
