that the knowledge and regulation of cognitive and 
metacognitive strategies can be attributed to students 
who  are  motivated  and  interested  in  academic 
activities. In addition, some other researchers (Paris, 
Lipson  and  Wixson,  1983;  Pintrich  and  De  Groot, 
1990; Zimmerman, 2008) also consider it necessary 
to integrate both aspects of learning in developing a 
model suitable for the process, as students need have 
the  will  and  skills  to  gain  academic  success,  and 
optimal results. 
This concept seeks to explain how students differ 
from  each  other,  whether  in  self-study  or  how  to 
evaluate the effects of various aspects of cognitive 
and  motivational  teaching  on  them  (Duncan  and 
McKeachie,  2005).  The  basic  assumption  is  that 
motivation and learning strategies are not typical of 
students  but  their  motivations  are  dynamic  and 
limited by context and that learning strategies can be 
learned and under the control of the students. That is, 
students'  motivation  varies  among  education  (eg, 
more interest and  value  in freely  chosen education 
and not on the required education) and their learning 
strategies may vary depending on the nature of the 
academic task (Duncan and McKeachie, 2005). So it 
can  be  concluded  that  the  motivation  of  learning 
strategies referred to in this study is the orientation of 
motivation and the use of learning strategies applied 
by students in following the learning process. 
On  the  other  hand,  student  engagement  is  a 
willingness to participate in school routine activities 
with cognitive, behavioural, and affective indicators 
in  performing  specific  learning  tasks  (Chapman, 
2003). Then (Fredrick, Blumenfeld and Paris, 2004) 
further elaborates student engagement through three 
dimensions:  behavioural  engagement,  emotional 
engagement (e.g. attraction, joy, sense of belonging) 
and  cognitive  engagement  (e.g.  student  effort  to 
complete the task and strategy used in learning). This 
has a positive impact on students' self-development 
both short and long term as individuals. The change 
of learning paradigm toward student entered learning 
is  expected  to  encourage  students  to  be  actively 
involved  in  building  their  knowledge,  attitude  and 
behaviour. In this learning process, students get the 
opportunity  and  facilitated  to  build  their  own 
knowledge so as to gain a deep understanding which 
will  ultimately  improve  the  quality  of  students 
(Harden and Crosby, 2000). 
Therefore,  there  needs  to  be  a  strategy  to 
strengthen  motivation  in  the  determination  of 
learning strategies and  behaviours that  indicate the 
involvement  of  students  in  the  learning  process. 
Active learning model is considered able to answer 
that need. Active learning is a learning technique that 
emphasizes the active use of the brain to find the main 
idea of matter, solve problems or apply what is newly 
learned into a real-life problem (Meyers and Jones, 
T., 1993). Active learning is a method that puts the 
student as a learning subject and has the potential to 
improve creativity or be more active in every learning 
activity, both inside and outside the classroom. In this 
method  students  are  directed  to  active  learning  by 
touching,  feeling,  and  looking  directly  and 
experiencing  themselves  so  that  learning  is  more 
meaningful  and  quickly  understood  by  students. 
(Meyers and Jones, T., 1993) state that structure used 
in  active  learning  method,  among  others  are:  (1) 
Elements,  consisting  of  lectures  and  listening 
accompanied  by  an  interactive  process,  writing, 
reading and reflecting on the experience gained, (2) 
Learning  strategy,  divided  into  small  groups, 
activities  that  focus  on  cooperation,  case  studies, 
simulation, discussion, problem solving and journal 
reflection, and (3) Learning resources, consisting of 
reading  material  (reading),  work  tasks,  learning 
process through technology, etc. The method used in 
this learning process may vary, but even if varied, the 
purpose of this learning method still refers to the ease 
of the students in understanding the lessons even they 
will greatly enjoy the lessons to be provided. 
In  addition  to  responding  to  challenges  in  the 
digital era then also need to involve an internet-based 
learning process. In this case, implementing internet-
based learning (e-learning) is not just putting teaching 
material  on  the  web,  but  also  preparing  learning 
scenarios that invite active and constructive learners' 
involvement in their learning process. It can be said 
that e-learning is a learning process that uses internet 
technology  to  send  a  series  of  solutions  and 
information that can improve knowledge and skills 
(Rosenberg, 2001). Differences in traditional learning 
with e-learning are students can be independent at a 
certain time and responsible for the learning process; 
the  atmosphere  will  force  students  to  play  a  more 
active role. (Cisco, 2001) state that e-learning is the 
delivery  of  information,  communication,  and 
education online, as well as through the media a set 
of  tools  that  support.  There  are  three  things  that 
become  a  requirement  in  designing  e-learning  is 
simple, personal, and  fast  (Purbo, 2002).  A  simple 
system  will  allow  learners  to  take  advantage  of 
existing  technologies  and  menus.  The  personal 
requirement means that the teacher can interact well 
as a teacher communicates with the student in front of 
the class. A more personal approach and interaction 
will enable learners to be advocated for their progress, 
as well as assisted by all the problems they face. Then
