Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

This study determines the effectiveness of digital learning materials on students’ academic achievement and motivation in the topic Geometry. The research design is quasi-experimental. A sample of 60 participants out of 200 target populations were carefully chosen using cluster probability sampling. A threeweek intervention was carried out. The instruments used are a set of pre-test and post-test on the topic Geometry. The motivation survey that was given to the treatment group only. A descriptive analysis was used to describe students’ achievement on the geometry topic, while an independent t-test was used to determine the differences between the two teaching strategies the digital learning and the conventional learning. The survey was designed to measure the extent of students' motivation after using the developed digital learning materials and also analyzed through descriptive statistics. Meanwhile the correlation coefficient is revealing the relationship between digital learning materials and students' motivation. The finding shows that there is a significant correlation between digital learning materials and students’ achievement and motivation in the topic geometry. It can be concluded that the use of digital learning materials remains very pertinent in the teaching and learning process of students in the world in order to help students study at their own convenience and especially during the world pandemic. The study also recommended that managers of schools should augment on the budget for digital learning materials in order to cater a teaching platform that allows students to meet their teachers, make a discussion, watch videos, play educational games, do interactive practicing, and presentations about the concepts from their Geometry books. These digital learning materials have to be manipulated according to students’ needs to help them understand and learn concepts in Geometry. The implication of the study shows that the developed digital learning materials can be used as a teaching aid in improving students' understanding and motivation towards Geometry.
