The Relationship of Learning Motivation to the Learning Outcomes of Fifth Grade Students in Science Subjects at SD Islam Khaira Ummah Padang

Abstrak

Science learning (Natural Sciences) in general aims to develop knowledge, skills, scientific attitudes, and understanding of basic concepts about nature and the environment. Science learning emphasizes more on the scientific approach which involves five stages, namely (1) observing, (2) asking, (3) collecting information, (4) reasoning, (5) and communicating results. This helps students to be more active and independent in learning, so that they are able to understand science concepts as a whole. Meanwhile, science learning in elementary schools focuses more on developing students' understanding of basic science concepts and developing scientific thinking skills. Sugiyono (2018) stated that science learning in elementary schools is more about understanding science concepts if the material taught is related to their daily lives. In addition, motivation from teachers and from students themselves is also an important factor in improving students' science learning outcomes. According to Kompri (2022), motivation is a form of behavior that originates from within a person that encourages them to carry out an activity in order to achieve a goal. Meanwhile, according to Sobandi (2017), in terms of learning, students will succeed if they have the will to learn and the desire or drive to learn, because by increasing learning motivation, learning outcomes can increase. With the motivation of students to learn, there will be a willingness of students to follow the learning process which will have an impact on the learning outcomes obtained by the students. This is in line with Salsa's opinion (2022) that high motivation will have an impact on learning outcomes so that good learning outcomes are created. According to Sugiyono (2022), quantitative research can be interpreted as a research method based on the philosophy of positivism, which is used to research certain populations and samples. Quantitative research is to test existing theories or problems. The approach used by researchers in this study is correlation, namely to determine the level of closeness of the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. The subjects in this study were students in class VA, VB, VC of SD Islam Khaira Ummah Padang, totaling 81 students. The results of the study can be seen in the correlation test which shows that the correlation coefficient of intrinsic motivation is 0.024 with sig 0.025> 0.21 and extrinsic motivation is 0.027 with sig 0.029> 0.21. This shows that the calculated r value> r table so that H11 and H12 are accepted and H0 is rejected. So it can be concluded that there is a relationship between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation on the learning outcomes of grade V students in science subjects at SD Islam Khaira Ummah Padang. with the influence of the determination coefficient of the intrinsic motivation variable of 2.4% and the extrinsic motivation variable of 2.7% influencing the learning outcomes (Y) of grade V students in SD Islam Khaira Ummah Padang.
