Abstract

Numerous studies have explored students' perceptions of Blooket in enhancing vocabulary mastery. However, its potential in facilitating grammar acquisition remains underexamined, with limited scholarly inquiry into students' attitudes toward employing this tool for grammar learning. This study aimed to investigate the research question: "What were students' attitudes toward using Blooket for grammar learning?" The research involved 156 ninth-grade students from SMP Negeri Karang Jaya during the 2024/2025 academic year. Participants were selected through purposive sampling from classes with prior experience using Blooket. Data were collected via a 17-item survey administered through Google Forms, examining three key constructs: Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Behavioral Intention (BI). The findings revealed mean scores of 4.26 for PU, 4.24 for PEOU, and 4.28 for BI, indicating a predominantly positive perception of Blooket as a grammar learning tool. In conclusion, students exhibited a generally favorable attitude toward the integration of Blooket in grammar instruction.
