THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY USE IN LEARNING AND LEARNING MOTIVATION ON THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF 10TH-GRADE STUDENTS AT SMKN 2 TULUNGAGUNG

Abstract

Vocational High Schools (SMK) aim to produce skilled, competent graduates who are ready to enter the workforce. One strategic effort to improve the quality of education in SMKs is through the integration of technology into the learning process. However, in practice, the use of technology in classrooms remains suboptimal despite the availability of facilities. Several factors hinder its effectiveness, including low student motivation, limited ability to operate technology efficiently, and technical issues such as unstable internet connections and inadequate devices. This study aims to examine the influence of technology use and learning motivation on the academic achievement of tenth-grade students at SMKN 2 Tulungagung. A quantitative correlational approach was employed, involving a population of 740 students and a proportionally selected sample of 260 students from each class. Data were collected through questionnaires and academic records, then analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and both simple and multiple linear regression with t-tests and F-tests to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that both technology use and learning motivation have a positive partial effect on students’ academic achievement, and simultaneously, both variables also have a significant influence, as shown by significance values below 0.05.
