IMPROVING
STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION THROUGH COLABORATIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES

1.1.Background of the Study
Most of teacher still focused their
teaching activity on the delivery of a curriculum to fulfill their target in
teaching and learning process. They feel comfortable if they can teach all of
material from curriculum in time. They are rarely thinking to the growth of
their students physically and mentally. It is enough for them if the students pay attention to the
lesson quietly, work alone, and stop talking. As the result students have
traditionally been isolated communicatively and physically. Teachers have
lectured and students have listened. Teachers-and the textbook-have been the
sources of knowledge and authority in the classroom.
In the traditional model of the
classroom, in which the curriculum is presented from a textbook on one
instructional level, the motivation students may diminish. Feelings of success
and a high motivation in learning only perform by the students who are
accustomed to the textbook-oriented. While those who cannot master the textbook
will be unmotivated and feel unpretentious.
The academically talented students may
not demonstrate their full academic potential in the classroom. When one
instructional level from the curriculum is presented in a classroom, there will
be no opportunity for some?????????????
