THE EFFECT OF MOTIVATION AND LEARNING INTEREST ON THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF GRADE XI MA ALFATTAHIYYAH STUDENTS FOR THE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR

Abstract

The achievement of optimal learning outcomes is an important indicator of the success of the learning process. Students' motivation and interest in learning are one of the internal factors that play a big role in determining academic success. Based on observations at MA Al Fattahiyyah Tulungagung, most of the students of grade XI have not reached the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) in the subject of Informatics. This study aims to determine the influence of motivation and interest in learning on student learning outcomes. Samples were taken randomly of 20 students. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation of PTS scores, then analyzed using linear regression with the help of SPSS. The results of the t-test showed that learning motivation had a significant effect on learning outcomes, while learning interest did not. However, the F test showed that both simultaneously had a significant effect. These findings show the importance of motivation in improving student learning outcomes.
