That the learning outcomes is an overview of the progress or development of students from the first to follow the educational program until the time they ended the educational program which he passes. So the study results can be seen after learners gain experience learning and behavioral changes. So with a change in the student after a learning experience and that's called learning outcomes. Someone students who have high motivation to learn, have the drive or desire to learn a subject, students who have the desire and drive to learn a subject guided by their needs. One needs are close to success in learning a subject is need for achievement. That students who have high motivation to learn, will be marked with a bold desire to compete and receive feedback and encouragement to always be responsible and goal attainment. That students who have the drive to take responsibility and achievement of learning objectives, makes the learners to always be disciplined and focused in learning a subject. Therefore, students who have high motivation to learn, will get better learning outcomes compared to students with low learning motivation. Thus, if in improving learning outcomes of a subject, the need for efforts to increase student motivation. Motivation is realized in the form of action, is one factor that can be used to predict the progress of learning.

The main outcomes of an engineering course should be for the students to achieve the educational goals, enhance their problem solving capabilities and develop essential skills for their future career. In that context, it is important to understand what motivates the students and what helps them develop an engineering mind-set. This paper discusses the improvement of a course with the use of student feedback to motivate students and help them develop essential skills. The purpose of the paper is to provide insight into how different aspects of the course are linked to the students’ growth. Different activities have been integrated in the course over the past years. The effect these have on the student motivation to follow the course and develop skills, knowledge and interest in the subject is discussed through the analysis of student performance, student feedback and the experience of the lecturers. The improvements in the course based on the student feedback were received positively by the students, whose learning experience improved, even though the workload of the course was high. Their motivation to successfully complete the course has also increased through the changes in the delivery of the course and the support by the teachers. The combination of student feedback and teacher experience is key for the improvement of a course, while ensuring that the students develop their engineering knowledge. Therefore, the teachers should strike a balance between helping the students find the solution and encouraging them to think on their own in order to develop essential skills.

Abstract To teach the subject of physics in the classroom it is required that the teacher has and plans to carry a didactic strategy with him. Within this context is the methodology called Active physics learning, which is a strategy within the classroom and in the laboratory, as it allows the student to learn physics without depending on a textbook or the teacher who guides the course. The test of understanding graphs of kinematics assesses students’ comprehension of kinematics. We report the application of an active learning experience for the conceptual learning of kinematics of students taking the subject of physics in an elementary and middle school. The study is quasi-experimental with a single group of 29 students using a pretest-intervention-posttest design. With the results of the pretest and posttest the Hake learning gain index was estimated and showed evidence of the implementation of active learning in the conceptual evolution of students in kinematic concepts and their representation by means of graphs. This becomes a precedent for the improvement of pedagogical practice in favor of quality education.

<p class="abstrak"><em>This research was motivated by the low motivation to learn students in class II MIS Raudhatul Mujawwidin on moral subjects. The purpose of this study is to analyze the increase in student motivation in moral subjects with the CTL approach. The research approach is qualitative with the action research method through the Kemmis and Taggart model with two cycles. The results showed that: First, the level of student motivation in moral subjects with the CTL approach in the first cycle increased to 64.69% from the previous only 36.84%. This means that the use of the CTL approach is quite a solution in overcoming the low motivation of student learning, so that it remains used as an action variable for cycle II. Secondly, the level of students' motivation in the subject of morality with the CTL approach in the second cycle increased to 82.89%. Of the six indicators of student motivation to learn, only one indicator that is in the category of "moderately motivated" is the indicator of appreciation in learning. This shows that the application of the CTL approach can increase student motivation in class II MI Raudhatul Mujawwidin on the subject of the morality of the material of faith in God as evidenced from almost all indicators of student motivation to learn in the "highly motivated" category.</em></p><p class="abstrak">Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya motivasi belajar siswa di kelas II MIS Raudhatul Mujawwidin pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis peningkatan motivasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak dengan pendekatan CTL. Pendekatan penelitian yaitu kualitatif dengan metode action research melalui model Kemmis and Taggart dengan dua siklus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: Pertama, tingkat motivasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak dengan pendekatan CTL di siklus I meningkat menjadi 64,69% dari sebelumnya hanya 36,84%. Hal ini berarti bahwa penggunaan pendekatan CTL cukup menjadi solusi dalam mengatasi rendahnya motivasi belajar siswa, sehingga tetap dijadikan sebagai variabel tindakan untuk siklus II. Kedua, tingkat motivasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak dengan pendekatan CTL di siklus II meningkat menjadi 82,89%. Dari keenam indikator motivasi belajar siswa, hanya satu indikator yang berada dikategori “cukup termotivasi”, yaitu indikator penghargaan dalam belajar. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan pendekatan CTL dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa di kelas II MI Raudhatul Mujawwidin pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak materi beriman kepada Allah yang dibuktikan dari hampir semua indikator motivasi belajar siswa berada pada kategori “sangat termotivasi”.</p>

The study investigates postsecondary student motivation and demotivation for studying Ukrainian language, culture, folklore, literature, linguistics, and history. Four groups of students from one Canadian postsecondary institution are studied: (i) students taking Ukrainian language courses; (ii) those in Ukrainian content courses; (iii) students who took a language course at the postsecondary level in the past but did not continue; and (iv) students active in the Ukrainian community who have never taken any Ukrainian studies courses at the postsecondary level but are potentially interested in Ukrainian studies.The analysis is grounded in Dörnyei’s motivational framework, which categorizes L2 motivation into three levels: the language level (in this study, ‘subject area’), the learner level, and the learning situation level (“Motivation”). The subject area level deals with reasons to learn certain subjects: instrumental and integrative motivation. The learner level focuses on learners’ personality traits and cognition. The learning situation level relates to learning environment. Dörnyei’s framework is employed to develop a motivational questionnaire, used as an instrument. The results are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative data are elicited through participant responses to close-ended questions, showing the distribution and significance of various motivational factors in different groups of students under study. The qualitative analysis is based on participant responses to open-ended questions, allowing us to analyze both responses and perspectives on how their motivation relates to learning experience and the learning process overall. The combination of the two methods of analysis contributes to a multi-faceted understanding of motivational factors and yields pedagogical implications. The article concludes with a list of recommendations that stem from these analyses.
