Pembelajaran yang ideal seharusnya mampu menciptakan suasana yang menarik, menyenangkan, dan memotivasi peserta didik untuk aktif berpartisipasi serta memahami materi secara mendalam. Namun, hasil belajar peserta didik kelas X Teknik Elektronika Industri di SMK Negeri 1 Driyorejo pada materi komponen aktif dan pasif masih perlu ditingkatkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas model Problem Based Learning dengan pendekatan gamification berbasis aplikasi Voltsim – Circuit Simulator terhadap hasil belajar peserta didik. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuasi eksperimen dengan desain Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Sampel terdiri dari 52 peserta didik, masing-masing 26 orang di kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Instrumen berupa tes pilihan ganda yang divalidasi oleh dua guru dan satu dosen ahli. Hasil analisis data menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test menunjukkan nilai Z sebesar -4,474 dengan signifikansi 0,000 yang mengindikasikan adanya peningkatan signifikan antara nilai pretest dan posttest pada kelas eksperimen. Nilai rata-rata N-Gain sebesar 0,3182 yang termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Selain itu, uji Mann-Whitney U Test menghasilkan nilai Z sebesar -2,890 dengan signifikansi 0,004 dan rata-rata peringkat kelas eksperimen sebesar 32,54, lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol sebesar 20,46. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan model Problem Based Learning dengan pendekatan gamification berbasis aplikasi Voltsim – Circuit Simulator efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik dibandingkan model Discovery Learning dengan pendekatan konstruktivisme berbasis aplikasi Every Circuit.

An ideal learning process should create an engaging, enjoyable, and motivating atmosphere that encourages students to actively participate and understand the material thoroughly. However, the learning outcomes of Grade X Industrial Electronics Engineering students at SMK Negeri 1 Driyorejo on the topic of active and passive components still need improvement. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning model with a gamification approach using the Voltsim – Circuit Simulator application on students’ learning outcomes. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample involved 52 students, consisting of 26 in the experimental class and 26 in the control class. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test validated by two teachers and one expert lecturer. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a Z value of -4.474 with a significance level of 0.000, indicating a significant improvement between pretest and posttest scores in the experimental class. The average N-Gain score was 0.3182, which falls into the moderate category. In addition, the Mann-Whitney U Test resulted in a Z value of -2.890 with a significance level of 0.004. The mean rank of the experimental class was 32.54, higher than that of the control class, which was 20.46. These findings suggest that the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model with a gamification approach using the Voltsim – Circuit Simulator is more effective in improving students’ learning outcomes than the Discovery Learning model with a constructivist approach using the Every Circuit application.
