【 摘 要 】

Undergraduate students often have difficulty in finding the updated research topic for their undergraduate thesis. This is due to students have less knowledge about research in a particular field because they are less familiar with scientific articles. This work, therefore, proposed an implementation of research-based learning and measured students' academic performance and motivation. The study is conducted in four stages which are the plan, do, check, and act. Research-based learning is conducted based on its syntax. Paper and pencil test is then performed to measure students' academic achievement and a survey is devoted to determining students' academic motivation. The results show that most students obtain satisfied score and they feel comfortable to join a class with research-based learning.
