The research method used is a survey with correlation and regression analysis. The population in this study was UNP students, with a sample of 23 students with purposive sampling techniques. Data on student independence and learning motivation is obtained through questionnaires. In contrast, the data of problem-solving capabilities are obtained through tests. The results of the data analysis found that the influence of independence and learning motivation on problem-solving ability was shown by a correlation coefficient of 0.642 and a coefficient of determination R2 of 37.8%, and regression line equation Y = 42.271 + 0.334 X1 + 0.404 X2.
