This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of interactive digital media and its influence on learning motivation. Interactive digital media is expected to increase students' engagement in learning and motivate them to be more active in the learning process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews and observation. The sample used was 5-10 students selected as key informants in one junior high school. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques which included data reduction, categorization, and meaning of emerging themes. The results show that students have a positive view of the use of interactive digital media in learning, which they feel can increase their motivation to learn. Based on these findings, it is recommended to utilize interactive digital media as an effective tool in the learning process to increase students' motivation and engagement. The implication of this study shows that the integration of interactive digital media in the learning curriculum can be an innovative strategy to create a more engaging learning environment, encourage student-centered learning, as well as support the development of 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy.
