Abstract

English is one of the essential subjects taught at the secondary education level. However, not all students achieve optimal results in this subject. One factor that is suspected to influence student learning success is learning motivation. Motivation plays an important role in encouraging students to actively engage in the learning process, increasing their persistence, and determining how much effort they put forth to achieve their desired outcomes. Therefore, it is important to examine the relationship between students’ motivation and their English achievement.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between students’ learning motivation and their English achievement in class XII A MIPA at MA Darul Huda Ponorogo. This research aims to identify the extent to which students’ motivation affects their academic performance, particularly in the context of English learning, and to highlight the importance of motivation in the teaching and learning process.
This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The sample of this study consists of students from class XII A MIPA at MA Darul Huda Ponorogo, selected through random sampling technique. The instruments used for data collection were a questionnaire to measure students’ learning motivation and documentation of academic records to assess their English achievement. Data analysis was carried out using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the Pearson Product Moment Correlation test to examine the relationship between the two variables.
The results of this study show that there is a positive and significant correlation between students’ learning motivation and their English achievement. Based on data analysis using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test, the correlation coefficient indicates a fairly strong relationship between the two variables. This suggests that the higher the students’ motivation to learn, the better their English achievement.
