PENGARUH EKONOMI ORANG TUA TERHADAP MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA MA DARUL ULUM ROUTA

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between parents economic conditions and
students learning motivation at MA Darul Ulum Routa, Konawe, Southeast
Sulawesi. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through observation,
documentation, and questionnaires. The results showed that most parents have
lower to middle economic conditions (average score of 70.57 on a scale of 84),
which is influenced by the level of education and the type of work that is generally
informal. Nevertheless, most parents still support their childrens education. In
general, students learning motivation is classified as moderate to high (average
67.54 on a scale of 80), indicating quite good enthusiasm for learning, although
some students showed low motivation. Simple linear regression analysis showed a
significant effect (p=0.000) between parents economic conditions and learning
motivation (R²=0.645). This means that around 64.5% of the variation in learning
motivation can be explained by parents economic conditions, while the rest
(35.5%) is influenced by other factors, including the learning environment, the role
of teachers, and students psychological factors. In conclusion, the economic
conditions of the parents of students at MA Darul Ulum Routa are mostly middle to
lower, while the students learning motivation is classified as medium-high. The
analysis shows a significant positive correlation (64.5%) between the parents
economy and learning motivation. However, factors outside the economy also play
a crucial role. Further research needs to explore these factors for a more
comprehensive understanding.
