The implementation of ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) strategy through multimedia and simulation to improve student’s motivation on science at MI Al-Fattah Malang

INDONESIA:

Motivasi mempunyai pengaruh yang besar terhadap pencapaian belajar siswa,motivasi belajar yang rendah menimbulkan dampak negatif pada pada diri siswa,seperti rasa malas,kurang percaya diri,dan kurang puasnya siswa terhadap materi yang apabila dibiarkan menjadi masalah yang serius,kurangnya motivasi pada siswa juga mempunyai dampak pada interaksinya dengan lingkungan mereka khususnya lingkungan sekitar yang sebenarnya banyak sekali dipelajari dari mata pelajaran IPA,seringkali siswa merasa bingung dengan hal-hal yang mereka jumpai dalam pembelajaran IPA karena pembelajaran yang digunakan masih menggunakan metode konvensional yang kurang memberikan stimulus untuk siswa untuk lebih mengexplorasi apa yang ada disekitar mereka melalui pelajaran IPA.

Beranjak dari permasalahan di atas, maka diperlukan strategi yang tepat dalam meningkatkan motivasi siswa,dan salah satu strategi yang tepat untuk meningkatkan motivasi siswa adalah dengan ARCS (Attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) yang mempunyai beberapa langkah dalam meningkatkan motivasi siswa.

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di MI Al-Fattah Malang adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah Bagaimana implementasi ARCS (Attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) strategy through interactive multimedia and simulation to improve students motivation on science at MI Al-Fattah Malang. Sedangkan tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan implementasi ARCS (Attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) strategy through interactive multimedia and simulation to improve students motivation on science at MI Al-Fattah Malang,serta mengetahui bagaimana evaluasi dari implementasi ARCS (Attention, relevance, confidence,and satisfaction) strategy through interactive multimedia and simulation to improve students motivation on science at MI Al-Fattah Malang

Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian tindakan kelas (class-room action research) dengan jenis penelitian mandiri. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Data yang bersifat kualitatif dianalisa dengan analisa deskriptf kualitatif sedangkan data yang bersifat kuantitatf dianalisa dengan analisa deskriptif kuantitatif.

Dari hasil observasi dan data empiris di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa, bentuk penggunaan strategi ARCS dengan multimedia dan simulasi dapat meningkatkan motivasi siswa dari 63,35% menjadi 98,35 % dan nilai rata-rata yang sebelumnya hanya 75 yang kurang dari KKM 78 menjadi 85.hal tersebut menunjukkan adanya hubungan peningkatan motivasi dan prestasi belajar siswa.

ENGLISH:

Motivation have big impact for student learning result, student with less motivation are showing negative behavior like lazy, not confidence with their self, and they feel unsatisfied with the learning result, if this problem not solved immediately it will become serious problem for the student. Student with less motivation also find difficulty in understanding the material and unable to explore more knowledge from the subject especially in science, although student can explore the material form interaction with environment, they still feel confused with the material.

One of problem related with motivation of student is learning proses still use conventional method with fewer stimuli for the student, this method just explains the material without motivated student to explore more about the material in their environment through learning science.

Based on the problem above, to motivated student in learning need suitable strategy, one of strategy to motivated student is ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) that have many steps to improve student motivation. The research of this strategy was conducted at MI Al-Fattah Malang and the formulation of problem on this research are : 1)How the planning process of Implementation ARCS method trough multimedia and simulation to improve student motivation on science at MI Al Fattah Malang,2)How is the process implementation of ARCS method trough multimedia and simulation to improve student motivation on science at MI Al Fattah Malang and 3)How the process of assessment in Implementing ARCS method trough multimedia and simulation to improve student motivation on science at MI Al Fattah Malang.

This research use classroom action research. The researcher technique in data collection conducted by using observation, interview and documentation. Qualitative data was analyzed by descriptive qualitative and quantitative data is analyze by quantitative data analysis. Based on observation and empirical data analysis result of Implementation of ARCS method trough multimedia and simulation, the strategy can improve student motivation on natural science. The improvement of this strategy form cycle I to cycle II is from 63, 35 % improve to
98, 35% and the average score from 75 under the criteria of standard 78 improved to 85.

This data also indicated that the ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) strategy trough multimedia and simulation can improve student motivation in learning science at MI Al-Fattah Malang.
