Strategies to Increase Students' Learning Motivation through Active Learning Approaches

Abstract

Learning motivation is one of the key factors that affect the success of students in achieving learning goals. Low motivation to learn often has an impact on declining student participation, learning outcomes, and the overall quality of the learning process. This article aims to examine and describe strategies to increase students' learning motivation through the application of an active learning approach. The method used in writing this article is a literature study by analyzing various scientific sources in the form of national and international journals, reference books, and relevant education policy documents. The results of the study show that active learning approaches, such as group discussions, problem-based learning, cooperative learning, and the use of interactive media, are able to increase student engagement cognitively, affectively, and psychomotorly. The application of active learning strategies also encourages students to be more independent, confident, and responsible for their learning process. Thus, active learning can be one of the effective solutions in increasing the learning motivation of students at various levels of education.
