INTRODUCTION
Every country ideal in the world is to become a developed nation.To know how advanced the nation can be measured through education aspect.As we know, education will improve quality human resources both in terms of spiritual, intellectual, and personality.Education is an effort to improve intelligence and skills, as well as scoring the next generation can build for ourselves and responsible for the development of the nation.According Kunandar (48: 2012), the first and main subsystem in improving quality of education is teacher.In implementing education standard of the educational process, teacher has a role and a significant position in the learning process.Wina Sanjaya (2010: 14) asserts that a teacher needs to have the ability to design and implement a variety of appropriate learning strategies to accomodate their students needs, including utilizing a variety of media sources and learning to ensure the effectiveness of learning.
Based on the documentation and interviews with teachers of Accounting SMK N Yogyakarta 7 on November 25, 2015, the researcher retrieved some information.The information is in the form of Midterm test of X Ak 2. From this data, there were still many students who did not meet KKM (Standart Minimum Score) of 75.Many students who had not yet reached the KKM i.e. were up to 41% or 14 of 32 students.It pointed out that the achievements of Accounting students X Ak 2 SMK N Yogyakarta 7 is still low.Beside that, teaching and learning activities on Accounting X Ak 2 SMK N Yogyakarta 7 showed that the role of the teacher in the learning process was still very dominant.
From observation on November 25, 2015, there were still many students that are less motivated in following the learning process.This was shown when the teacher opened the lessons there were four students who came late, students still chattered with friends and some students were not prepared yet to follow the learning process.Majority students did not ask questions or state their opinions when the teacher provides such opportunities.Only 12 or about 37% of students asked teacher or friends when facing a difficult problem.In addition, both students and teacher did not utilize the internet media to support learning either inside classroom or outside classroom, eventhough there are some computer laboratories and free wifi.In addition to that, many students brought a laptop and a cell phone to school, but the use of laptops and mobile phones has not fully been used to support the learning process of students.There were three students using cellphone while learning process, for matters non-related to the subjects.From the results of the pre-cycle questionnaire distributed by researcher also showed that average score of learning motivation of Accounting students grade X Ak 2 was still low i.e. of 69,42%."MotivasiBelajar merupakan faktor-faktor psikis yang bersifat nonintelektuan" (Sardiman, 2011:75).Learning motivation can be interpreted as a psychological boost to direct, stimulate and maintain students' behavior so that the learning objectives can be achieved.Someone who learns with strong motivation will carry out learning activities in earnest and energetic.
According to Thorne (2003), "Blended learning is a combination of: multimedia technology, CD ROM video streaming, virtual classroom, voicemail, email, and telephone conferencing, online text animation and video streaming.All of this is combined with traditional forms of classroom training and one-on-one training".The sense of conclusion to be drawn that the Blended learning combines online learning with traditional media in the form of faceto-face.The benefits of blended learning according to Dodon Yendri (2011: 4), are (1) improve learning outcomes through distance learning; (2) increase the ease of learning so that students become complacent in studying through distance education; (3) reducing the cost of learning.With these benefits, it is expected to overcome the problems in learning.One online learning media that has been used by teachers in many countries is Edmodo.Edmodo is a website that is free and safe pembejaran designed by Jeff O'Hara and Nick Borg in 2008 for teachers, students, parents, schools and districts, and are available in www.edmodo.com.
Edmodo is intended for teachers, students and parents.Edmodo is developed using the concept of social networking, which refers to the social network Facebook thus this system has features similar to Facebook.In fact, many people that Edmodo is schoolarea facebook, because in addition to social media / collaboration among users, Edmodo also support the learning process online.This website is private and secure because it only allows teachers to create and set up an account, and only students or parents of students who get a code group that can access and join the group.Through learning appropriate to the characteristics, needs, and the times the expected class X Ak 2 SMK N 7 Yogyakarta will be more motivated to learn that will improve learning achievement.
Based on the above description, researcher interested in innovating a learning model that can help students in learning both in the classroom and outside the classroom in the form of utilization of Edmodo.Edmodo is expected to help boost the motivation of students to learn accounting so that understanding can increase the learning achievements of students.

Research Design
This research was classroom action research.According to Charles & Mertler in Mertler (2011:27), in general the process of action research in the form of a four-stage procedure, the four stages are: (1) planning phase, (2) the stage of taking action, (3) the development phase, and (4) the stage of reflection.

Research Setting
Research was done in the X AK 2 at SMK N 7 Yogyakarta.Details of the time about this research is the preparation phase was carried out in December 2015, while was implemented even semester February 2016 and preparation of results in February-March 2016.

Subjects of The Research
The subject of this research was students of X AK 2 at SMK Negeri 7 Yogyakarta academic year 2015/2016 that amounted to 32 students.

Procedures
In practice, the research was conducted through the cooperation with teacher of subjects which was conducted in two cycles.Each cycle included the planning stages, the stages of implementation, phase observations, and phase reflection

Data, Instrument, and Collection Techniques Data
Data collection techniques using written test, documentation and questionnaire.These tests used a researcher to find out students ' ability in the material being taught.The document was used during the learning process using blended learning is field notes.Other documentation is a photo while learning.The documentation was used to obtain data of the students at the time of the initial observations.Questionnaire was distributed to the students during each cycle after the implementation of Blended Learning model based on social media Edmodo as a measurement means of learning motivation.

Data Analysis Technique
This data analysis was conducted to compare between the initial condition before implementation and the results gained in Cycle 1 and 2. Hence, there were differences between both conditions after implementation.The data obtained from questionnaire and tests showed students accounting learning motivation and achievement in cognitive skill only.

Cycle 1
Students' learning motivation was still low indicated from an observation in the classroom, and questionnaire that was distributed to students.Observation done by researcher on Wednesday 25th November 2015, showed that students' learning motivation was still low in participating the Accounting subject.This demonstrated by the presence of four students who arrived late to join the learning process, students did not pay attention while the teacher had started the lesson, some students played the mobile phone during the learning process, and many students who had not pulled out their book to follow the learning process.The low level of Accounting learning achievement in grade X Ak 2 can be seen from the results of midterm test that 41% students did not meet the requirements set by school regulation, i.e. 14 students from 32 students.This showed that Accounting teaching learning process in the classroom was not good.
From the data questionnaire learning motivation on cycle I it was noted that there were 4 indicators that had not reached the minimum criteria specified i.e. dilligency in doing tasks (71,88%), showing interest in all kinds of problems (73,96%), maintaining his opinion (74,22%), and diligency in locating and troubleshooting problems (69,53%).The following is table of score of learning motivation cycle I.Based on the data of pre test and post test cycle I, it could be inferred that the students' average score in cycle I increased by 8.9% from average of pre test 70.15 and average score of post test 76.40.From the observation in terms of the learning completeness on cycle I the results of pre test indicated that as many as 15 students had met the minimum criteria of learning or 46,88%.While the results of post test indicated students who had met the minimum criteria of learning increased to 21 students or 65.63% but this had not been demonstrated 75% of students met standard minimum score.

Cycle 2
The implementation was on February 15 & 20, 2016.Implementation of learning accounting by using Blended Learning model in grade X Ak 2 cycle II had been completed.Observation was made during the learning process and was taken place in the classroom using Blended Learning model.From the observation, the obtained data showed that: From the data above, it was shown that there was an indicator that had not reached the specified minimum criteria score which was that the students were eager to look for and solve problems i.e. 72,66%.This was different from the cycle I where there were four indicators that had not reached the minimum criteria score.
Individually observed, the percentage of Accounting learning motivation of X Accounting 2 was in table below: Based on these data, it could be seen that individually, students' learning motivation was already optimal.It could be concluded from the number of students who obtain a score of at least 75% of the learning motivation had amounted 75% of the total number of students.
Observation From the research that had been carried out covering planning, implementation, observation, reflection, and evaluation, the data had been obtained as described above.The implementation of Accounting learning using Blended learning at both the cycle I and cycle II showed an increase in the learning motivation and cognitive's learning achievement of Accounting.For more details, the comparison data of cycle I and cycle II will be further described in following section.
Based on the data, the increase of learning motivation score in the first cycle and the second cycle can be from the data of learning motivation questionnaire from the first cycle to the second cycle.If viewed from the percentage, the first cycle score is 74.22% and the second cycle score is 81.09%.thus, it results in an increase of 6,87% in absolute terms and 8.47% in relative terms.The success rate of application of Blended learning to improve learning motivation are presented in the table below.As shown in table 20, there is an increase in each cycle, I and II.In cycle I, the increase is mounted to 8,9%, while in cycle II, there is 10% increase.
If described in bar chart, the average score of students of X Accounting 2 is like: The increase of class average score from pretest to post test is in the following picture if described into bar chart.
