The Effect of Crossword Puzzle Application on The Students’ Learning Motivation in Science Learning

Abstract

Crossword puzzle strategy is one strategy of active learning that involves all students to actively think by filling out crossword puzzles prepared by the teacher. So that students are expected to be more enthusiastic in participating in learning. This study aims to examine the effect of applying the crossword puzzle strategy to students' learning motivation in science learning. The research method used is a quantitative method, with the design of one-shoot case study. The population in this study were all students of class amounting to 21 students, and using saturated sampling in determining the sample. Data collection techniques used are structured observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Furthermore, the results of the research data were tested using regression tests. The results showed that the significance value of regression test was 0,000. Because significant values is smaller than 0.05 and t count (4.316) is greater than t table (1.72913), it can be concluded that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. This means that the implementation of crossword puzzle strategy has a significant effect on students' learning motivation in science learning.
