Implementing Wordwall to Enhance the Effectiveness of Formative Assessment in Pancasila Education: A Qualitative Study in an Eighth-Grade International Program

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Wordwall-based formative assessment and to analyze its effectiveness in enhancing students’ learning motivation, activeness, and participation, as well as improving assessment time efficiency and media flexibility in Pancasila Education for class 8A ICP at SMP Laboratorium UM. The research employed a qualitative approach using descriptive methods to obtain an in-depth understanding of the implementation process and its educational impact. Data were collected through teaching modules, interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The implementation of Wordwall as a formative assessment medium allowed students to engage more actively in learning activities through interactive and game-based evaluation formats. The findings indicate that the use of Wordwall contributed to increased learning motivation, higher levels of student activeness and participation, and a more efficient assessment process compared to conventional assessment methods. In addition, Wordwall demonstrated high flexibility, as it can be accessed using various digital devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones, enabling its use both inside and outside the classroom. These results suggest that Wordwall is an effective and practical digital assessment medium for supporting formative assessment in Pancasila Education. The study highlights the potential of interactive digital platforms to create a more engaging, efficient, and flexible assessment environment that aligns with contemporary educational needs and technology-integrated learning practices.
