The Differences in Students Learning Motivation Based on Gender Using Blended Learning Models of Mathematics Learning

Abstract

Blended learning models is a new e-learning methods that Universitas Negeri Medan used recently. E-Learning is commonly fascinating by men more than the women. And that was the reason why the researcher took research about the motivation between that both gender. Thus, this study aims to describe the motivations in learning mathematics using blended learning based on gender. The subject of this research were 9 male and 23 female mathematics students. The research used motivations questionnaire sheets form instrument as the object. By transforming the ordinal data to ratio, the motivation data were changed to score and analyzed with parametric statistics since the normality test of Shapiro-Wilk shows significant levels of 0.230. Furthermore, from the Levene's test for equality of variances shows 0.908 with α = 0,05. It means that the data variance between male and female groups is homogeneous. Thus, the result of questionnaires and tests show that there's no difference between the motivation of male and female students in learning mathematics with the Blended Learning models since the t-test value larger than t-table level of significance 0,05.
