Pengaruh Motivasi Belajar Terhadap Prestasi Siswa Pada Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of learning motivation on student achievement in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects through a library research approach by analyzing various relevant literature such as books, journals, theses, and dissertations. The findings indicate that learning motivation is a psychological driving force divided into intrinsic motivation that grows from within the student and extrinsic motivation triggered by external environmental stimuli, both of which play important roles in driving, maintaining, and directing student learning activities. PAI learning achievement encompasses three interrelated domains namely cognitive, affective, and psychomotor, which are influenced by complex interactions between internal factors such as learning interest and external factors such as family and school environments. This study concludes that learning motivation has a strong and causal influence on PAI students' academic achievement, where students with high motivation demonstrate enthusiasm, perseverance, and active engagement that contribute to superior learning outcomes. Teachers play a strategic role in arousing and maintaining motivation through creative approaches, varied methods, and creating conducive classroom atmospheres, so that synergy between teachers, parents, and the school environment becomes the key to optimizing student motivation and achievement.
