摘要：Slow learner has limited intellectual abilities, they need more time to learn. They tend to lack of academic motivation because of their academic failure experiences (Kaznowski, 2004; Shaw, 2008). Their capability can be more optimal if they supported by good motivation (Reddy, Ramar & Kusuma, 2006). There are some ways to improve students motivation, one of them is involving parent through parent training program. Effective parent training programs change not only parent’s behavior, but also children’s behavior (Matthews & Hudson, 2001). This study aims to test the effectiveness of parent training program to improve student motivation (throught motivation contract, reinforcement: tokens, praise and positive feedback). This is single cas study using A-B-A research design. An intervention was design for I, a slow learner who had low motivation in handwriting. Qualitative analysis applied to measure change of behavior before (pre-test) and after intervention (post-test). It shows that parent training program effective in changing parent’s behavior, but less effective in changing children’s behavior.
