Its interactive features are effective in attracting attention and facilitating concept understanding. The use of Educaplay has a positive and significant influence in increasing elementary students' learning motivation. It supports independent learning, creates a fun and interactive atmosphere, and contributes to improving the overall quality of learning outcomes, making it relevant in the digital era.
