Study in statistics: motivation, independence, and learning achievement

Abstract

Statistics are very important for students to master, but many experience difficulties. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a combination of blended learning and problem based learning in improving student motivation, independence, and statistical learning achievement. This research is a quasi-experimental study conducted on IAIN Ponorogo students. The instruments used for data collection were achievement tests, learning independence tests, and learning motivation questionnaires. The data collected was analyzed using MANOVA and continued with the Bonferroni Test. The result of the MANOVA test has obtained a significance of 0.000 so that it can be concluded that the combination of blended learning and problem-based learning was more effective in increasing student motivation, independence, and statistical learning achievement than blended learning and problem based learning methods. Specifically, the combination method is more effective in increasing student learning motivation than blended learning and problem-based learning. In the aspect of increasing student learning independence, the combination method has the same effectiveness as problem-based learning. Both are more effective in increasing the independence of student learning than blended learning. Whereas in the aspect of learning achievement, the combination method is more effective in increasing student statistical learning achievement than blended learning and problem-based learning.
