Motivation And Student Learning Outcomes In Problem Based Learning

Abstract

Applying eclectic learning means combining two or more learning models to be applied at one time. This article aims to analyze students' motivation and learning outcomes in participating in a combination of learning from problem based learning (PBL) with cooperative learning. This research is weak-experimental using static-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 52 students (male= 35, female= 17) 8th grade junior high school were taken using the cluster random sampling method. Motivation data are collected using a questionnaire, while learning outcomes use skills tests. PBL as the main model combined with cooperative type team game tournament (TGT) and jigsaw is applied as a treatment. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and t-test. The results showed that motivation [t(25)= 51.97, p= 0.000] and learning outcomes [t(25)= 13.41, p= 0.000] increased significantly in the PBL-TGT group. Likewise with motivation [t(25)= 48.88, p= 0.000] and learning outcomes [t(25)= 11.74, p= 0.000] in the PBL-Jigsaw group. There was no difference in increased motivation (t(50)= 0.963, p= 0.34) and learning outcomes (t(50)= 0.000, p= 1.000) in the two groups. It can be concluded that PBL is compatible combined with TGT and Jigsaw in increasing motivation and learning outcomes.
