Students Perception on the Use of Quizizz and Kahoot! As Learning Media

Abstract

This research aimed to explore students' perceptions on the use of Quizizz and Kahoot! as learning media. The research was conducted at a private university in Yogyakarta and involved 83 students from the 2020 batch of the English Language Education program who had experience using Quizizz and Kahoot!. This is a quantitative study with comparative data analysis, comparing students' perception on the use of Quizizz and Kahoot!. The data was collected through a questionnaire about students perception on Quizizz and Kahoot! using the Likert Scale. An independent sample t-test was used to compare students' perception on the use of Quizizz and Kahoot!. The results showed that students had positive perceptions about Quizizz (M=4.01, SD= .60) and Kahoot! (M=3.50 SD= .53). Furthermore, they expressed their preference for Quizizz over Kahoot! (t(82) = 12.91, p < 0.000). To be more specific, students perceive Quizizz (M=4.35, SD = .833) as more interesting and fun as a learning medium than Kahoot! (M= 4.30, SD= .728); (t(82) = 3.21, p < .002), and they felt that both platforms created a competitive classroom atmosphere and were more effective than traditional offline tests. To conclude, this study suggests that teachers could consider using Quizizz more than Kahoot! during learning activities or quizzes.
