Description: This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with gamification on students’ learning motivation and conceptual understanding of physics, specifically in the topic of static fluids. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design involving eleventh-grade students of MAN 2 Palembang. The instruments used in this study were a three-tier test to measure conceptual understanding and a Likert scale questionnaire to measure learning motivation. The results showed that the average pretest score of the experimental class was 2.75, which increased to 7.35 in the posttest, while the control class improved from 2.1 to 4.1 out of 10. The N-Gain calculation showed a score of 0.621 (moderate category) for the experimental class and 0.191 (low category) for the control class. The t-test (Welch’s Test) produced a p-value of 0.005 < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of implementing the PBL model integrated with gamification on students’ conceptual understanding. Students’ learning motivation in the experimental class also increased to an average of 80%, while the control class only reached 73%, with the Mann-Whitney U test indicating a significant difference between the two classes. Thus, the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model integrated with gamification has been proven to positively affect students’ learning motivation and conceptual understanding in physics.
