Learning Interest and Discipline on Learning Motivation

Abstract

In the education process, almost all skills, knowledge, habits, and attitudes are developed through the learning process. Achieving good learning outcomes involves several components, such as interests, talents, good psychological factors, abilities, motivation, attitudes, maturity, discipline, and others. This study aims to determine the influence of learning interest and discipline on learning motivation. The population was university students, and the sample of the study was all students who took the basic course of curriculum development in 2019-2020, totaling 38 students. Data analysis was performed to describe the condition of each research variable learning interest, discipline, and learning motivation. Data were then analyzed by ANOVA with SPSS Program Version 16. In this study, we found that interest in learning and discipline significantly influenced learning motivation. This relation can be seen in the value of the ANOVA analysis was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Interest in learning influences learning motivation, and this also applies to disciplines that have a strong influence on student motivation. Thus, student learning motivation can be increased by high effort and attention in increasing and developing student interest and discipline. The interest in learning and discipline has a positive influence on learning motivation. Learning motivation is not only influenced by interest and discipline but in this study, it is only limited to interest and discipline, which affect students' learning motivation. Other researchers can do related research talents, good psychological factors, abilities, or attitudes.
