Abstract
The aims of this research were to determine the
differences of: 1) the students’ motivation before and after
participating the learning in the experiment class; 2) the students’
motivation before and after participating the learning in the
control class; 3) students’ motivation between the experiment and
control class; and 4) students’ learning achievment between the
experiment and control class.
The population of this research was grade eleven of
science class student of SMA Negeri 1 Mlati in 2013/2014
academic year. The sample were represent all of those population.
Samples were devided into experiment class which implement

multimodal cooperative learning of think pair and share (TPS)
web-based and control class that implement cooperative learning
of think pair share (TPS) without web. The instruments that used
in this research were Lesson Plan (RPP), post-test, and motivation
questionnaire. In this reseaech, hypothesis were tested using
paired sample t-test, independet sample t-test, and univariate
analysis of variance.
The analysis results showed there was difference in
learning students’ motivation before and after participating
learning in the experiment class, there was difference of students’
motivation before and after participating learning in the control
class, there was difference in students’ motivation between the
experiment and control class, and there was difference in students’
learning achievment between the experiment and control class.

Key Words : Multimodal, TPS, web, motivation and learning
achievment
