Abstract

Cooperative Learning (CL) is notably superior among other instructional learning methods in improving academic achievement and affective domains. Nevertheless, how learners think of the enjoyableness of CL and the circumstances that heighten such positive learning outcomes are often neglected. This research explored the perceptions of 36 high school learners who studied the functions and patterns of the notoriously problematic Conditional Sentences within the dynamics of a CL technique called Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD). It examined the extent to which learners perceived their amount of learning, their contributions to the learning of others and the overall pleasure of following the STAD cooperative strategy. As individual characteristics contribute to the success of CL applications, the perception between boys and girls, and high and low achievers were compared to ascertain any peculiarities. Confirmed through Chi-square analysis, the research uncovered that neither gender nor past achievement matter in the forming of perception as all participants perceived the learning process positively. However, males were slightly more appreciative on the importance of team contribution as well as individual accountability for their learning success. Only a small rate of lower-ability students felt strongly positive of improved comprehension. Likewise, surpassing their counterparts, high achievers more firmly verified the clarity of STAD concept. Both high and low achievers provided adequate contribution to the teamwork, yet only 25% of the entire population felt strongly about recommending STAD based on the unlikeliness for non-conceptual learning to fit with the approach.

Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that motivation has an important role in the process of learning. Motivation is a desire to achieve a goal combined with energy to work toward a goal. The students will learn the subject matter well if they have a motivation to learn. From the two types of motivation, instrumental and integrative, motivation carries the students to achieve their goals in learning English. However, to achieve the goals in learning English, the students should master English. Therefore, the writer conducted this research to see the correlation between motivation and English language skills achievement in the English Department. Then, the purpose of the research was to find out whether there is a significant correlation between motivation and English language skills achievement. The correlation research was conducted with the assistance of a motivation checklist and English language skills test as the instruments. Twenty eight respondents, who were the students of the English Department, took part in the research. They participated in responding to motivation checklist and giving their English language skills achievement. The data obtained were correlated using Product Moment Correlation formula by Pearson. The findings showed that there is a low negative correlation between motivation and English language skills achievement.
