This study employed a quantitative approach with an experimental research design to examine differences in students’ learning motivation. The sample consisted of two groups, Class V A and Class V B, with a total of 36 fifth-grade students. Data were collected using pretest and posttest instruments to measure students’ motivation levels before and after the treatment. The data analysis techniques included validity and reliability tests, normality and homogeneity tests, the Mann–Whitney test, and the correlation coefficient test. The results showed that the control class obtained a mean score of 22.55, with the highest score of 39 and the lowest score of 6. The median was 24.00, and the standard deviation was 10.076, indicating a low level of learning motivation. In contrast, the experimental class achieved a mean score of 58.48, with scores ranging from 45 to 68. The median was 60.00, and the standard deviation was 8.072, reflecting a good level of learning motivation.
