Abstrak

Jenis penelitian ini adalah eksperimen. Desain penelitian adalah eksperimen semu (quasi experimental) dengan desain ex post facto, yang dilaksanakan pada bulan awal Mei 2017 sampai awal Juni 2017. Tempat penelitian di SMK Negeri 3 Yogyakarta. Teknik pengambilan subyek menggunakan Purposive Sampling. Subyek penelitian yang diambil adalah peserta didik kelas XI jurusan Teknik Permesinan sebanyak 62 peserta didik yang terbagi menjaadi 2 kelas yaitu kelas kelompok eksperimen yang berjumlah 31 peserta didik dan kelas kelompok kontrol yang berjumlah 31 peserta didik. Sumber data penelitian menggunakan data primer. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui skala, wawancara dan observasi. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan skala motivasi belajar yang telah dilakukan uji validitas internal dan reliabelitas alpha dengan α = 0,942 yang berarti memiliki reliabelitas tinggi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji Paired t-test dan uji Independent t-test. Penelitian ini kelompok pada eksperimen diberi perlakuan metode reward 19 kali petemuan. Hasil analisis diperoleh hasil yaitu peningkatan motivasi belajar yang signifikan peserta didik yang menggunakan metode reward.  t hitung = -22,938 lebih kecil (karena bilangan negatif sehingga lebih kecil) dari t tabel = -2,042 dan nilai p < 0,05 (0,000 < 0,05) pada taraf signifikansi 5%. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode reward efektif meningkatkan motivasi belajar peserta didik kelas XI jurusan Teknik Permersinan di SMK Negeri 3 Yogyakarta.
