Enhancing Science Learning Achievement of Generation Alpha Students through Origami-Based Interactive Media

This study is a research and development project aimed at enhancing science learning achievement among Generation Alpha students through an interactive web-based learning medium integrated with origami activities. The integration of origami supports learning efficiency, engagement, and learner concentration, aligning with the learning characteristics of Generation Alpha. The objectives of the study were to: (1) develop origami-based interactive media to enhance science learning achievement among Generation Alpha students; (2) evaluate student achievement in a science project course after using the media; and (3) assess student satisfaction with the origami interactive media. The sample consisted of 24 sixth-grade students (Class 6/1) from Wat Amarintraram School in the 2024 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The research design employed a one-sample t-test model. Research instruments included: (1) the origami-based interactive media, (2) a science achievement test, and (3) a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The findings revealed that: (1) the quality of the origami-based interactive media was rated as excellent, with a mean score of 4.62 (SD = 0.59); (2) student achievement in the science project course exceeded 70%, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level; and (3) student satisfaction with the media was rated at the highest level, with a mean score of 4.56 (SD = 0.68).
