Influence of Contextual Learning Model and Learning Motivation in the Ability to Solve the Comparison Story

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of  Contexstual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model and learning motivation to the ability to solve the comparison stories. This research is a quasi-experimental research using 2 x 2 factorial design. The population specified in this research is all students of grade V located Elementary school in Boyolali of academic year 2016/2017 which amounted to 599. Sampling was done by multistage cluster random technique sampling. Data collection techniques with tests to measure the ability to solve comparative story problems. In addition, there are standardized tests to sort out student learning motivation. Validity test uses expert judgment and Product Moment Correlation, reliability with Cronbach Alpha Coefficient, and balance test with t-test by SPSS. Ability test of Normality test uses statistical test shapiro wilk and homogeneity test using levene test. For data analysis with technique of two way variance analysis (Anava) cell is not same, then conducted further test pascaanava with Scheffe method. The results of this study indicate that there is a difference in the ability to solve comparative story problems on CTL learning between groups of students who have high learning motivation with low-motivated students.
