Abstract

The study is aimed at finding the impacts of the use of Project-Based Learning in improving the students’ motivation among fourth grade students of SDN II Wonokarto in the academic year of 2011/2012. This research was conducted in two cycles. The Project-Based Learning was used by the researcher to improve the students‘ motivation. The Project- Based Learning was combined with two accompanying actions; giving praise and rewards and organizing the seating arrangement. The steps were reconnaissance, planning, actions and observation, and reflection. The collected data were qualitative data. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the actions, interviewing students, and holding discussions with the English teacher. The qualitative data were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. The result shows that the use of Project-Based Learning has successfully made the students’ motivation increase. Before the research was conducted, the students were passive in the class. But, in the long run the students could actively participate in the learning process. The result implied that the students made more significant progress in the English classroom by using Project-Based Learning. The Project-Based Learning could : (1) attract the students‘ attention to get involved in the class activities, (2) arouse students‘ interest in learning English, (3) ease the students to learn English without detail explanation, (4) make the teaching of English more alive because it helps the students in understanding the materials, (5) make the students love to learn English, (7) help the students to understand the teacher‘s explanation and instruction, (8) support and improve students’ involvement in the teaching and learning of English.
