Latar belakang: Collaborative learning adalah metode belajar kelompok yang berpusat kepada mahasiswa pada proses pembelajarannya. Meskipun berdasar teori dan hasilhasil Penelitian terdahulu, kuliah interaktif terbukti lebih baik dari kuliah konvensional, namun pada kenyataannya dosen masih banyak menggunakan metode kuliah konvensional dalam proses pembelajaran. Hal ini menyebabkan berkurangnya motivasi mahasiswa dalam mengikuti proses pembelajaran. Kuliah dengan metode collaborative learning termasuk salah satu kuliah interaktif. Berdasar hal-hal tersebut di atas, maka penulis ingin mengetahui motivasi belajar mahasiswa yang menempuh kuliah metode konvensional dibandingkan dengan metode collaborative learning. Tujuan: Membandingkan kuliah konvensional dengan collaborative learning pada tingkat motivasi belajar mahasiswa. Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen, dan rancangan Penelitian pos test only with control group design. Penelitian ini mengukur motivasi belajar mahasiswa yang diukur dengan Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionneire (MSLQ). Subjek Penelitian adalah seluruh mahasiswa Ilmu Kesehatan Masyarakat angkatan 2011 semester dua. Mahasiswa dikelompokkan menjadi dua kelompok secara acak. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan Uji Mann- Whitney test. Hasil: Ada perbedaan bermakna motivasi belajar mahasiswa setelah mengikuti proses belajar dengan metode konvensional maupun dengan metode Collaborative learning. Mahasiswa yang mengikuti kuliah dengan metode Collaborative learning memiliki motivasi lebih tinggi dibandingkan mahasiswa yang mengikuti kuliah konvensional. Kesimpulan: Collaborative learning lebih baik dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa terhadap materi kuliah dengan topik Gizi Kesehatan Masyarakat.

Although many theories and research results proved that interactive lecture is better than conventional lecture, but in fact, only few lecturers use the interactive method in teaching and learning process. Literature stated that using conventional method in teaching and learning process does not motivate students to learn more while using the other one (interactive lecture) will enhance students’ motivation. Collaborative learning is one of interactive lecture method. Based on the cases mentioned above, the researcher wants to compare students’ motivation who participate in conventional method and those who participate in collaborative learning method. Objective To compare level of students’ learning motivation in conventional learning method and level of students’ learning motivation in collaborative method. Method This is a quantitative research with experimental approach. Research design is a posttest only with control group design. This research measures students’ learning motivation by using Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionneire (MSLQ). Subject for the research is the second semester students of Public Health Scince of Tadulako University and it was divided into two groups randomly. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test method.
