Abstract

This study explored the effect of problem-based learning and motivation toward learning outcomes of the subject of computer routing network. Computer routing network is part of the subject of computer network design in a computer network engineering class. The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in learning outcomes between students treated with the problems based learning model and treated with direct learning model by considering students’ learning motivation. This study was categorized as quasi-experimental designed with a factorial experimental design. The sampling technique used purpose-sampling. The data were analyzed using a two-way Anava method. The results of the study showed that (1) the learning outcomes of students in the subject of routing network with problem-based learning model was better than the student treated with direct instruction learning, (2) based on the learning outcomes in the subject of routing network, a group of students with high motivation was better, and (3) there is an interaction between the application of problem-based-learning model and motivation to the students learning outcomes.

Highlights

  • Learning is the process of interaction between learners, between learners with educators and learning resources in a learning environment

  • The learning process of the educational unit is organized in an interactive, inspiring, fun, challenging, motivational way for active participation, and provides sufficient space for initiative, creativity, and independence according to the talents, interests, and physical and psychological development of learners [1]

  • The purpose of this study is to examine (1) learning outcomes in the subject of routing network between students treated with problem based learning model and students treated with direct instruction learning, (2) the differences of learning outcomes in routing-network between groups have high and low motivation, and (3) interaction between the application of problembased-learning model and motivation to the students’ learning outcomes

Summary

Introduction

Learning is the process of interaction between learners, between learners with educators and learning resources in a learning environment. The learning process of the educational unit is organized in an interactive, inspiring, fun, challenging, motivational way for active participation, and provides sufficient space for initiative, creativity, and independence according to the talents, interests, and physical and psychological development of learners [1]. Vocational education should provide sufficient theories, practice, and examples of real problem solving by utilizing learning models, learning strategies, learning methods, and learning media that support the learning process in the aspects of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor, and develop social, emotional, spiritual, and so on. Internal factors are factors that come from within the individual for example of intention, achievement motivation, attitude, motivation to learn. While the external factor is a factor comes from outside the individual for example learning model. One of the learning models is problem-based learning (PBL) which is a learning model that teaches students to solve problems and improve their knowledge
