PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN KONTEKSTUAL DAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR TERHADAP PRESTASI BELAJAR BAHASA INGGRIS PADA PESERTA DIDIK SMP YPPK SANTO FRANSISKUS MOANEMANI DI DOGIYAI

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of contextual learning and learning

motivation on the English learning achievement of students at SMP YPPK Santo

Fransiskus Moanemani in Dogiyai Regency, Central Papua. The background of this

research is based on educational challenges in 3T regions (disadvantaged, frontier,

and outermost areas), particularly limited internet access, which hampers the

implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The method used is a quantitative

approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups: an experimental

group that received contextual learning and a control group that used conventional

learning methods. The research instruments included a pretest, posttest, learning

motivation questionnaire, and observations.

The results of data analysis indicate that: (1) contextual learning has a

significant effect on students' English learning achievement, (2) learning motivation

has a significant influence on learning achievement, and (3) there is a simultaneous

effect of contextual learning and learning motivation on learning achievement. These

findings affirm that contextual learning approaches adapted to local characteristics

are highly effective in remote areas and can significantly improve student learning

outcomes.
