Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the Games-Based Learning Model on the improvement of students’ interpersonal intelligence by comparing an experimental class that implemented the Games-Based Learning Model with a control class that applied conventional learning. The research hypothesis states: “There is a positive and significant effect of the Games-Based Learning Model on the improvement of interpersonal intelligence of Grade IX students in Christian Religious Education at SMP Negeri 2 Sipahutar in the Academic Year 2025/2026.” The population consists of all Grade IX students enrolled in Christian Religious Education at SMP Negeri 2 Sipahutar in the Academic Year 2025/2026, with a total of 124 Protestant Christian students distributed across four classes. The research sample was determined using purposive sampling: Class IX-4, comprising 32 students, served as the experimental class implementing the Games-Based Learning Model, while Class IX-2, also comprising 32 students, served as the control class receiving conventional learning. The research method employed was a quasi-experimental design using the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research instrument consisted of 40 questionnaire items. The data collected from the questionnaires were analyzed using the mean difference test formula (N-Gain Score). The results showed that the experimental class achieved an average score of 0.7309, which falls within the high category, whereas the control class obtained an average score of 0.1334, categorized as low. Furthermore, the independent t-test yielded a value of tcalculated= 17.397 > ttable α = 0.05; df = 62) = 2.000. Thus, it can be concluded that the research hypothesis is accepted: the Games-Based Learning Model has a positive and significant effect on improving the interpersonal intelligence of Grade IX students in Christian Religious Education at SMP Negeri 2 Sipahutar in the Academic Year 2025/2026, and H₀ is rejected.
