The Learning Motivation and Learning Outcomes of Islamic Senior High School Students

Abstract

This study aims to compare the learning motivation and learning outcomes of Islamic senior high school students from Islamic junior high schools and general junior high schools and determine the correlation between learning motivation and learning outcomes of Islamic senior high school students. This research is ex-post facto research with a quantitative approach. The data was collected using a learning motivation questionnaire and documentation of students' report scores in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. The research sample includes 55 students who come from junior high schools and 155 students who come from Islamic junior high schools. The research results show that Islamic junior high school students have higher learning motivation and better learning outcomes than general junior high school students. Furthermore, the correlation between learning motivation and learning outcomes is 0.006 and 0.038 for junior high schools and Islamic junior high schools students, respectively. The correlation between learning motivation and learning outcomes of junior high school students has a smaller significance than students from Islamic junior high schools. In the future, Islamic senior high schools are expected to increase students learning motivation in an effort to improve students learning outcomes.
