Keywords:
school environment, elementary school students, quantitative research, regression analysis, learning motivationAbstract
Motivation serves as the driving force that propels individuals toward the achievement of specific goals. Preliminary observations at elementary schools in Maybrat Regency, Southwest Papua, revealed that a number of students demonstrated insufficient learning motivation. This study aims to investigate whether the school environment exerts a significant influence on the learning motivation of Grade IV students at SD YPPK St. Petrus Ayawasi, Maybrat Regency. A quantitative approach employing a pre-experimental design was utilized, with a total population and sample of 20 Grade IV students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation, and documentation. Prior to hypothesis testing, prerequisite analyses were conducted, including a normality test using the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and a linearity test. Hypothesis testing was performed using simple linear regression analysis at a significance level of 5%. The results revealed a significant influence of the school environment on students' learning motivation, as indicated by a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.685 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.469, signifying that 46.9% of the variance in learning motivation is attributable to the school environment, while the remaining 53.1% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. The findings underscore the critical importance of creating conducive school environments to foster and sustain student learning motivation.
