Abstract

The background of this study is based on the low learning motivation of students,

as indicated by the lack of active participation in learning, particularly in

Mathematics. This study aims to describe the implementation of a constructivist

approach in improving students’ learning motivation through differentiated

instruction in Mathematics for second-grade students at SDN 023 Kuaro. This

research uses a qualitative approach with respondents consisting of teachers,

students, and the school principal. Respondents were selected using purposive

sampling based on the research objectives. Snowball sampling occurred through

the involvement of participants relevant to the main respondents. The research

procedure began with the preparation of instruments and instructional tools based

on the constructivist approach. The research was carried out through interviews and

observations. Data analysis involved drawing preliminary and final conclusions

during the interview process. The results of the study, obtained from teacher

respondents, indicate that they have prepared, implemented, and evaluated student

engagement and understanding using cooperative and collaborative strategies.

Student respondents have prepared, carried out, and completed group tasks, while

the principal has facilitated the preparation, implementation, and evaluation

processes.
