This study was designed to analyze the impact of implementing Wordwall-based interactive learning media on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in the Akidah Akhlak course at an Islamic junior high school in Indonesia. It was found that eighth-grade students at this school were not achieving their full academic potential in the Akidah Akhlak course. This phenomenon is believed to be related to a lack of variety in teaching methods and low student participation in the teaching-learning process. This study employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method that adopts a Non-Equivalent Control Group design. This study involved 45 students, who were divided into two classes: VIII.1 as the comparison (control) group and VIII.2 as the treatment (experimental) group, which would undergo an intervention using the Wordwall platform. Data were collected through observation, evaluation of academic achievement, and document review. Data analysis included tests of normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing using the t-test for independent samples. The study results showed a significance value (Sig., 2-tailed) of 0.016. This value is lower than the threshold of 0.05, indicating a significant difference in learning achievement between the treatment group and the control group. These findings support the conclusion that the use of Wordwall has a positive impact on improving students’ learning outcomes in the Akidah Akhlak subject. Thus, Wordwall can be considered an effective digital learning alternative to enhance the quality of Akidah Akhlak instruction, given its ability to increase active student participation and create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment.
