ABSTRAKVideo game semakin popular di semua kalangan, termasuk anak-anak. Bermain
video game secara berlebihan diperkirakan dapat mempengaruhi motivasi belajar
anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kebiasaan
bermain video game dengan tingkat motivasi belajar pada anak usia sekolah.
Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif korelatif dengan teknik
stratified sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu SD di Depok dengan
jumlah sampel 106 orang. Data penelitian diujikan dengan menggunakan uji chi
square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebiasaan bermain video game
anak-anak di sekolah ini 65% tergolong kategori normal (waktu yang tidak
berlebihan). Di sisi lain, tingkat motivasi belajar anak-anak di sekolah ini 56%
tergolong kategori rendah. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa tidak
ada hubungan antara kebiasaan bermain video game dengan tingkat motivasi
belajar. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dijadikan rujukan bagi perawat untuk
memberikan edukasi dan konseling mengenai peningkatan motivasi belajar baik
secara langsung pada anak maupun melalui orangtua.
