The Effectiveness of Motivation Training for Increasing Students’ Motivation
Abstract: Students’ low level
of motivation becomes a matter of concern to be addressed immediately.
Students' motivation needs to be improved as it is a factor that will affect
their lives in the future. This study aims to observe or examine the
effectiveness of motivation training in increasing students' motivation. The
research method used was the pre-experiment with one group pre-test post-test
design. The subjects of this study were 15 boy and girl students of Grade X of
SMK who had a low level of motivation. The measuring instruments were the
motivation scales given
during the pre-test
and post-test. The
quantitative data were
statistically analyzed using the
Wilcoxon test with
non-parametric measurements to
determine the significance
of difference in the
motivation level before
and after the
training. The data
were tested using
SPSS 17.0 for Windows. The result of Wilcoxon analysis
to test the hypothesis whether there is a difference between the pre-test and
post-test of students' motivation showed that the p = 0.025 (p < 0.05). This
means that there was a significant difference between the motivation before the
treatment (pre-test) and after the treatment (post-test), which
indicated that the
students' motivation increased
after a treatment
in the form
of motivation training.
