Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the use of Pegon Banyumas text in increasing the motivation to learn religion of MTs Al-Khairaat Nuangan students in a non-Pegon context. The method used is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experiment design of the non-equivalent control group type involving two classes VIII totaling 60 students. The experimental class learned using the Banyumas Pegon text, while the control class used conventional media. Motivation data was collected through a validated Likert scale questionnaire .The results showed that there was a greater increase in motivation in the experimental class than in the control class. The independent samples t-test produced a p< value of 0.001 and a very large effect size, indicating that Pegon Banyumas has a significant influence on the motivation to learn religion. These findings suggest that Pegon-based media serves as a cultural stimulus capable of increasing student interest and engagement, although the research still has limitations on the design, location, and duration of the intervention.
