motivationally. (Pintrich and De Groot, 1990) states
that the knowledge and regulation of cognitive and
metacognitive strategies can be attributed to students
who are motivated and interested in academic
activities. In addition, some other researchers (Paris,
Lipson and Wixson, 1983; Pintrich and De Groot,
1990; Zimmerman, 2008) also consider it necessary
to integrate both aspects of learning in developing a
model suitable for the process, as students need have
the will and skills to gain academic success, and
optimal results.
This concept seeks to explain how students differ
from each other, whether in self-study or how to
evaluate the effects of various aspects of cognitive
and motivational teaching on them (Duncan and
McKeachie, 2005). The basic assumption is that
motivation and learning strategies are not typical of
students but their motivations are dynamic and
limited by context and that learning strategies can be
learned and under the control of the students. That is,
students' motivation varies among education (eg,
more interest and value in freely chosen education
and not on the required education) and their learning
strategies may vary depending on the nature of the
academic task (Duncan and McKeachie, 2005). So it
can be concluded that the motivation of learning
strategies referred to in this study is the orientation of
motivation and the use of learning strategies applied
by students in following the learning process.
On the other hand, student engagement is a
willingness to participate in school routine activities
with cognitive, behavioural, and affective indicators
in performing specific learning tasks (Chapman,
2003). Then (Fredrick, Blumenfeld and Paris, 2004)
further elaborates student engagement through three
dimensions: behavioural engagement, emotional
engagement (e.g. attraction, joy, sense of belonging)
and cognitive engagement (e.g. student effort to
complete the task and strategy used in learning). This
has a positive impact on students' self-development
both short and long term as individuals. The change
of learning paradigm toward student entered learning
is expected to encourage students to be actively
involved in building their knowledge, attitude and
behaviour. In this learning process, students get the
opportunity and facilitated to build their own
knowledge so as to gain a deep understanding which
will ultimately improve the quality of students
(Harden and Crosby, 2000).
Therefore, there needs to be a strategy to
strengthen motivation in the determination of
learning strategies and behaviours that indicate the
involvement of students in the learning process.
Active learning model is considered able to answer
that need. Active learning is a learning technique that
emphasizes the active use of the brain to find the main
idea of matter, solve problems or apply what is newly
learned into a real-life problem (Meyers and Jones,
T., 1993). Active learning is a method that puts the
student as a learning subject and has the potential to
improve creativity or be more active in every learning
activity, both inside and outside the classroom. In this
method students are directed to active learning by
touching, feeling, and looking directly and
experiencing themselves so that learning is more
meaningful and quickly understood by students.
(Meyers and Jones, T., 1993) state that structure used
in active learning method, among others are: (1)
Elements, consisting of lectures and listening
accompanied by an interactive process, writing,
reading and reflecting on the experience gained, (2)
Learning strategy, divided into small groups,
activities that focus on cooperation, case studies,
simulation, discussion, problem solving and journal
reflection, and (3) Learning resources, consisting of
reading material (reading), work tasks, learning
process through technology, etc. The method used in
this learning process may vary, but even if varied, the
purpose of this learning method still refers to the ease
of the students in understanding the lessons even they
will greatly enjoy the lessons to be provided.
In addition to responding to challenges in the
digital era then also need to involve an internet-based
learning process. In this case, implementing internet-
based learning (e-learning) is not just putting teaching
material on the web, but also preparing learning
scenarios that invite active and constructive learners'
involvement in their learning process. It can be said
that e-learning is a learning process that uses internet
technology to send a series of solutions and
information that can improve knowledge and skills
(Rosenberg, 2001). Differences in traditional learning
with e-learning are students can be independent at a
certain time and responsible for the learning process;
the atmosphere will force students to play a more
active role. (Cisco, 2001) state that e-learning is the
delivery of information, communication, and
education online, as well as through the media a set
of tools that support. There are three things that
become a requirement in designing e-learning is
simple, personal, and fast (Purbo, 2002). A simple
system will allow learners to take advantage of
existing technologies and menus. The personal
requirement means that the teacher can interact well
as a teacher communicates with the student in front of
the class. A more personal approach and interaction
will enable learners to be advocated for their progress,
as well as assisted by all the problems they face. Then
