PENGARUH MOTIVASI INTRINSIK DAN EKSTRINSIK TERHADAP PRESTASI AKADEMIK MURID DI SEKOLAH DASAR NEGERI 6 BELINYU

Abstract

Education at the primary level is fundamental in shaping students' characters, yet achieving optimal academic performance at State Elementary School (SDN) 6 Belinyu remains challenging due to fluctuating internal and external motivation. This study aims to examine the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on the academic achievement of students at SDN 6 Belinyu. This research employed a quantitative survey method with a correlational design, utilizing questionnaires and academic documentation collected from a sample of 87 students, which were then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, both partially and simultaneously, exert a significant positive effect on students' academic achievement. Furthermore, the discussion highlights that while intrinsic motivation fosters independent learning, extrinsic factors such as parental support, school facilities, and teacher appreciation act as crucial catalysts that sustain and amplify this internal drive. In conclusion, a synergistic integration of internal awareness and a supportive external environment is essential to maximize educational outcomes. Therefore, it is recommended that school management and parents collaborate in developing comprehensive student management programs that stimulate both motivational aspects.
