Abstract

Salin Abstrak

This study was motivated by the low learning motivation of students in Indonesian language learning, as indicated by limited participation and involvement during the learning process. This condition was influenced by the use of teacher-centered instructional methods, particularly the lecture method, which provided few opportunities for students to interact and collaborate with their peers. Therefore, the Cooperative Learning method was implemented to create a more active, collaborative, and enjoyable learning environment. The study aimed to describe the planning, implementation, obstacles, and implications of the Cooperative Learning method on the learning motivation of third-grade students at MI Darul Muta'allimin Cepoko Nganjuk. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The study was conducted at MI Darul Muta'allimin Cepoko Nganjuk, involving the third-grade teacher, students, and relevant learning documents as data sources. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, source triangulation, technique triangulation, and time triangulation were applied. The findings revealed that the implementation of the Cooperative Learning method was carried out through heterogeneous group formation, group discussions, collaboration, presentations, and individual as well as group responsibilities. The method had positive implications for students’ learning motivation, as reflected in increased participation, self-confidence, teamwork, and enthusiasm for learning. The obstacles encountered included differences in students’ abilities, limited instructional time, and the lack of participation of some group members. These challenges were addressed through teacher guidance, effective group management, and continuous motivation. In conclusion, the implementation of the Cooperative Learning method effectively improved students’ learning motivation and created a more active, interactive, and student-centered learning process.
