Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the factors influencing students' learning motivation in the subject of Natural Science (IPA) at SDN 1 Ngujung, Magetan Regency. The main focus of this research is to understand the impact of both internal and external factors on students' motivation to engage in IPA learning. This research adopts a quantitative approach with a survey design involving 75 third-grade students at SDN 1 Ngujung. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire, interviews with teachers and students, and direct observations of IPA lessons. The results of the study indicate that the majority of students (75%) are interested in IPA material, but only 60% feel motivated to study IPA further outside class hours. Experimental-based learning in the classroom has been proven to increase students' interest and motivation, with 50% of students expressing greater interest when participating in experiments. On the other hand, limitations in learning facilities, such as inadequate teaching aids and practical spaces, pose significant barriers to interactive learning processes. This study concludes that both internal factors (personal interest, self-confidence) and external factors (teacher support, learning facilities) significantly influence students' learning motivation in IPA. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance the use of active learning methods, improve educational facilities, and involve parents more intensively in supporting students' learning processes.
