This study aims to determine the level of motivation and relationship of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and self-learning concerning students’ achievement in the English language, in relevance with their determination and the use of English to derive knowledge and as a medium of communication. A total of 120 secondary high school students in Pekanbaru Riau, Indonesia were randomly chosen as sample to evaluate and determine the influence of internal and external factors, as well as self-learning in mastering the English Language. A set of questionnaire was used in this study to assess the level of students’ motivation and self-learning and its relationship with their achievement. A test was used to measure the level of English proficiency. Pearson correlation and descriptive analysis were used to analyze the findings by using SPSS version 19.0. The findings showed a medium high level of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and self-learning, whereas students’ achievement was simply at the medium low level. The findings show that there is a less significant relationship between extrinsic motivation and the English Language achievement among students, however there is no significant relationship between intrinsic motivation and self-learning with the achievement. The study also stressed on the importance of providing a supportive learning environment to inspire and encourage students’ interest to form a culture of learning English Language rather than independent learning and intrinsic motivation
This study aims to design and develop an interactive software for teaching and learning physics about motion and vectors analysis. This study also assesses its effectiveness in classroom and assesses the learning motivation of SMA Pekanbaru's students. The software is developed using ADDIE Model design and Life Cycle Model and built using the program Delphi Seventh version by considering design, technical, pedagogical, and the content of its learning material. The research was conducted through quasi-experiment upon XI grade students of SMA Pekanbaru. The evaluation of the software was done by the experts of design, pedagogic, technical, and learning material. After the evaluation, this software was also evaluated by expert users consisting of 31 experienced physics teachers from senior high schools in Pekanbaru. The population consisted of six classes XI grade students of SMA Pekanbaru, where two of them are randomly selected. One of the two classes, then, was determined as experimental group while the other as control group. The experimental group consisted of 38 students, with 19 boys and 19 girls whereas the control group consisted of 37 students with 17 boys and 19 girls. The sampling was based on homogeneity and normality test. The finding shows that the reliability based on Cronbach Alpha is α=0.740. Learning physics using interactive software "Motion and Vector Analysis" has affected students' conceptual understanding by 81.16 compared to students learning using traditional method, which was only 35.86. Through t-test, it was found that students' conceptual understanding was different from value t= -22.725, p= 0.00 with α= 0.05. Students' motivation to learn in the post-test was better for students who learn using the software than those who learned using traditional method. Finding based on gender found that the conceptual understanding of male students and female students were similar. Learning motivation for both male and female students has also increased. Therefore, learning physics with "Motion and Vectors Analysis" topics using interactive software is more effective than learning using traditional method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
