Research has been conducted on applying project-based learning (PjBL) through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach during the pandemic. Tests were given to 30 first-year students conducted by Distance Learning (DL). The research method used a pre-post experimental one-group design. The results showed a minimum pretest score of 50 and a maximum value of 70. After being treated, the minimum posttest result was 75, and the maximum result was 90. There was a significant difference of 60 for the average pretest and posttest from the average pretest and posttest. The average posttest is 79.
Learning is an activity that is very important to carry out, especially for high school students. In practice, the student’s motivation often determines success in learning. Therefore, high school students’ motivation needs to be increased to study well. The researcher was then interested in seeing how high school students’ perceptions of teacher quality and learning environment affect their motivation to learn. This research will be carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data to be used in this study comes from various research results and previous studies, which still have relevance to the discussion in this study. The results of this study then found that teacher quality can increase learning motivation for high school students. This is because a good teacher will make it easier for high school students to understand what they are learning, so learning motivation will increase even higher. Then a good learning environment can also increase high school students learning motivation. This is because, with a few distractions, students can focus on learning well. The learning process at home through e-learning often causes a learning environment full of distractions, so high school students learning motivation decreases extensively.
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.
