Consider to learning motivation there are significant contradiction between experimental and control group for the result in each indicator. The result of N-gain calculation showed that students cognitive learning of experimental group classified as medium category with the N-gain score of 0.39, while the control group classified as low category the N-gain score 0.25. Based on test result difference in average value of cognitive learning between experimental and control group showed the tcount of the pretest was 1.89 and the tcount of the posttest was 4.49 is higher than the ttable it was 1.67.
