In Jean Piaget cognitive theory, third grade
primary students are at a congcrete operational level,
at this level students can develop a logic mind, so
they need something real in the learning process.
Learning process by using a correct media will
make students fel enjoy and not bored to follow
social science learning at school. The various
learning media require teachers to be more selective
in choosing media to be used.
In this reasearch, reasearcher selected poster
media as an alternative that can be used by teachers
to present social science subject to third grade
students. Learning social science by using poster
media can be easier to reach the aim of national
education and also make it easy for teachers in
teacching their students. So that social science
learning will be more preferred by students and it
will increase students’of SDN Sudimara 10
motivation level.
Learning media is something that used by people
to present learning messages. (Sugiarto in Tatang,
2015:54).
Poster is a large size picture and giving stress to
one or two main ideas that are visualized simply and
clearly. (Sanaky in Niska 2013:2).
International Journal of Enviromental and
Science Education Vol 11 No.5 “Poster preparation
is found to improve research and analyzing skills
and increase motivation and success, increase
meaningful and permanent learning, improve
creativity, cooperative learning, critical thinking,
research abilities and communication skills of
students. (Hasturk Gamze and Alex Dogan, 2016:
894).
Using poster in learning process can be done in
two ways, there are helping teachers to explain the
lesson to their students, and to offer invitation to
students after class session. (Daryanto 2012:30).
International Journal of Law and Social Sciences
said “Some researchers found using posters for
creative tasks that have resulted in high level of
motivation and confidence and it has contributed to
bring pleasantness in the learning environment”.
(Stone et al., in Zerin 2013:130)”.
International Journal of Asian Social Science
Vol.4 No.6 said “motivation is the impetus or
stimulus given to a person in order to have the will
to act. Motivation is very important in determining
the activity of learning, because amotivated group
will be more successful than those who do not have
the motivation” (Hikmat in Bakar, 2014:723).
Learning motivation is a psychic impetus from
inside someone to be able to do a learning activity
by adding skills, experience. Motivation encourages
and leads to learning interest to achieve a goal.
(Yamin 2011: 216).
International Journal of Asian Social Science
Vol.4 No.6 said “Explains that students who have
the high motivation is indicated by some characters,
such as, initiative, dIligent and active in learning,
not easy to satisfy, punctual and disciplined, always
trying to learn with the best result. Motivation is
seen as a mental impulse that drives and directs
human behaviour, including learning behaviour.
Motivation has a willingness to activate, mobilize,
channel and direct the attitudes and behaviour of a
learner”. (Baron and Donn in Bakar Ramli,
2014:724)”.
One of the factor that influences motivation is
learning dynamics factor. International jornal of
basic and clinical pharmacology said “A teacher
should not merely teach; he/she should have the
desire and capability to help students to learn.This
intrinsic desire and potential in the teacher will help
and motivate the students to learn. A teacher should
realize that all the students in the class are not of
equally motivated. A teacher plays the key-role in
the motivation-learning process by undertaking such
innovative learning activities to arouse and sustain
enthusiasm, inspire confidence and promote the
desire to learn and perform well in academics”.
(Samuel et al., 2018: 654)”.
Social science is an integration from various
branches of social science and humanities, such as
sosiology, history, geography, economy, politics,
law and culture. (Susanto 2014: 6).
Social science learning is a lesson that must be
mastered by primary students, especially to formal
school students, basically social science is a fun
subject to learn. The aim to be achieved in this
reasearch is to find out whether there is an influence
of poster media on students’ learning motivation
abilities to social science subject.
